    Umbraco 7 redirect internal page

    Hi, i am new to umbraco, and have a small problem, with redirect.

    i have a parent page " news-media" with two sub pages "news" & "media".

    when i press "news-media" i would like to redirect to "news".

    "news-media" is an empty page.

    but haven't been able to figure out a way to do this..

    any help would be greatly apreciated.

    Hi André.

    In the Settings section, for the Document Type for "news-media", create a new property of type ContentPicker, with the alias umbracoInternalRedirectId. See example image:

    enter image description here

    Then in your Content section, for your "news-media" node, select the "news" page for the umbracoInternalRedirectId value. See example image:

    enter image description here

    This should make sure that when someone browse the "news-media" node, they will be automaticly redirected to "news".

    The umbracoInternalRedirectId property will not change the URL when it redirects, thereby leaving it /news-media. If you want the URL to change to /news-media/news, then use the umbracoRedirect alias instead, but still with a Content Picker.

    Best of luck to you!!

    If you are interested in reading more, see: https://cultiv.nl/blog/umbraco-tip-of-the-week-redirects/. Its an old article, but it still works the same. :)

    Fantastic answer, Dennis.

    Just to add my 2 cents, the umbracoRedirect alias does a 302 redirect which might not be what you want. If you need a 301 redirect, your best option is IIS URL Rewrite

    Cheers!
