  • Store products
  • Store categories
  • Blog posts
  • PDF files that have been uploaded
  • Any type of link/page Weebly allows you to create, should be allowed to 301 redirect to...

This would be awesome!!!!

We've had to do a bit of a workaround (if you're interested)

We've created something that looks similar to a 404 error page... and added a 301 to point to that page for some of our old blog posts from our old website.. this has a button linking directly to the correct blog.

It isn't by any means an ideal... it still allows some retention of SEO value and is user friendly enough if you only have to use it a few times..

here's an example http://www.webfirethemes.com/how-to-install-a-webfire-theme.html

luckily we've only needed to do it a few times

Thanks @WebfireThemes I set this up for my blog pages. However I posted the question to the Vote on Features section so this functionality can expand and we dont have to use workarounds. Vote on it if you'd like...
