Pages that have been redirected include a small icon (small arrow inside a globe) to the left of their title, which can be seen when viewing your list of pages. Clicking the Edit button (pencil icon) for a redirected page will also reveal a disclaimer at the top of the content editor.
Content can be added to a redirected page, however it will not be displayed on the site. Before removing a redirect, it is recommended to first add content to the page.
To remove the redirect and display the page content insead, begin by clicking the "Pages" link (located at the fop of any Digital Bell page). This will bring you to a list of the site's existing pages. Locate the page that is being redirected, then click the Properties button (gear icon) to the left of the title. This will bring you to the properties editor.
- If the page is being redirected to an external page, not on your site:
Locate the "Redirect to URL" field. If the page is being redirected to an external URL, it will be listed within this field. To remove the redirect, delete the URL in this field. Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Submit" button to save your changes. - If the page is being redirected to an internal page, within your site:
Locate the "Redirect to Page" field. This field will include a scrolling list of each page (and their path) on the site. If the page is being redirected to an internal page, it will be highlighted within this list. To remove the redirect, scroll to the top of the list and click to highlight the "-- please select --" option. Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Submit" button to save your changes.
Once the redirect has been removed, the page will display any content that has been added through the content editor. Note, removing a redirect from a page that does not contain any content elements will result in a blank page.
