How to 301 redirect old wordpress category?
-
Hi All,
In order to avoid duplication errors we've decided to redirect old categories (merge some categories).
In the past we have been very generous with the number of categories we assigned each post.One category needs to be redirected back to blog home (removed completely) while a couple others should be merged. Afterwords we will re-categorize some of the old posts.
What is the proper way to do so?
We are not technical, Is there a plugin that can assist?Thanks
