how to redirect a page that is no longer available

Post by kerastes » Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:54 pm

I have made some changes to my website and reorganized some stuff and from the menu manager i changed an ''Article Layout'' to ''Separator'' since this page breaks in to 3 different pages now, so the previous ''article'' is no longer available but i just realized that most of my traffic in google is coming from that link! what should i do now? PLEASE HELP

Don't HACK the Joomla! core, Instead "Extend" and/or "Override."
Stay ON the update path.
