Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

Hi everyone,

I have an issue that I would like to solve on my site. I have a link that is like this: www.mysite.com/our-blog and would like the url to become this: www.mysite.com/blog.

The /blog link shows a 404 error. How do I show the contents of the /our-blog page on the /blog page?

Thanks in advance!

First, you change the alias in the corresponding menu item. Then you might also want to redirect the old URL to the new one using the redirect component under components -> redirect.

Thanks! I am coming up with an error when redirecting:

Save failed with the following error: The source URL must be unique.

How do I fix this so that I can redirect the page?

1. When you remove a page or change a page name you can replace it with a redirect page so your visitor doesn't get a 404 error page.
2. For an easy virtual "tour" of images. There are better ways, although they are more complicated.
3. When you change your web site location, such as a move from a free host to another host or to your own domain.
4. A thank you page after an order is submitted or form is filled out.

Hello I am using Joomla 3.11 and get this error in redirect.
Trying to change;
http://merlin-industrial.co.uk/office-a-canteen
to
http://www.merlin-industrial.co.uk/office-a-canteen-253
due to a SEF muck up when updating from 2.5
I have tried refreshing the cache but still does not work.
Any advice gratefully received.

I had the same issue, but i solved it.

The error message "Save failed with the following error: The source URL must be unique." indicates that your rule is already present in the “Trash” can. Select trashed items and delete it. Simply follow these steps…

1. Components -> Redirect
2. From the left column select “Trashed” in the filter
3. Select all old trashed URLs and “Empty Trash”
4. Now you can try it, it should work.

Thanks,
