Wordpress how to redirect specific URL from multiple posts to a different URL?

Scorpion Ghost · Jul 16, 2024

So I use Bitly to shorten some links in my wordpress posts, with the idea that at a later date I can change the redirect easily. Apparently this is not available in Bitly anymore, unless you pay. Yeah, right.

What plugin or even code can I use to take, say, bit.ly/whatever, which is scattered between many of the posts on my website, and redirect it to somesite.com/something?

Thanks

Okay, i used the Better Search Replace plugin to find all the instances of the old URL and replace with the new URL. Seems to have worked.

Edit: oh, fuck you bitly!

Edit 2: this is why you host all your own shit, so you don't run into situations like this

WP redirect plugins allow you to redirect tens and hundreds of URLs on your website, this plugin lets you redirect a complete website to another domain name. It can be done with both permanent and temporary redirections.

It's very easy to set up a redirect for a specific URL from multiple posts to a different URL.
