The recommendation in this post worked for me, but I discovered that you can also select "External Page" when you add a new page - this seems cleaner for what I wanted to do - goes directly to the external page without redirecting.

The "Create an external page" technique works but you'll have all external pages created shown on the nav menu and no solution to hide it...

This is another great option, but it only works if you click on the link.

@pgrous - that's a perfect solution to what I want to do. In my case, we have broadcast adverts and listeners can easily enter a similar but wrong site address. This allows us to easily pick up erroneous attempts by having a single page at teh wrong destination and simply bump them on to the full web site. 
Awesome!

Yes, you can do this.  Here's how...

• Create a page named  Google
• Enable the checkbox to "Hide if from Navigation"
• Under Header Type, click SEO Settings
• In Header Code, paste this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://google.com" />

• Publish your site.
• Go to http://www.my-weebly-site.com/GOOGLE and it should redirect to Google (you'll probably see an interim page load first).  Also, note, browsers can disable META REFRESH, but it's enabled by default.  So, in the event it's disabled, I recommend putting a link to the page you want to redirect to

Not sure why Weebly does not allow 301 redirects to external pages.  Seems totally arbitrary decision on their part that no one would ever want to link to a non-Weebly page.  Weebly - please add this feature.

THANK YOU, pgrous, for this fix!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Adam,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, we need a 301 due to a domain name change.

The new domain is hosted on a new server and we need google search console to be able to read a 301 on the 'old' domain.

Regards

You could set up a domain forward from the old domain to the new one - Google should be able to follow that. Did you buy the old domain from us or somewhere else?

Hi Adam, I have the same issue:  I bought a new domain from another provider, built a new website, and now I would like to redirect 301 my old domain (that I bought from you) to my new external domain and new website. 

How can I do that?  Can you please help me with this?  

Since my new site shares almost the same contents of my old website, I would not like this to be a problem with Google SEO.

Thank you so much for your help

If you go to the Domains tab you should be able to set that up, @FrankD. Click on your domain there, then change the destination for the domain to your new external domain.

How do we redirect a weebly site to an external site that is meant to replace it then? Is our only option to delete the site entirely and claim the domain through another website/company to redirect it?

Are you using a custom domain, @maidsofhonor? You can point that to another host to use with a site built somewhere else, and you can also forward it to a new domain.

Similar to "FrankD" we are looking to move this due to a domain change with the new domain hosted by another company.  Unfortunately, the page names are different enough that I don't know if a simple forward will work, and we will want specific pages redirected to new pages.  We've created a table with "old page URL" to "new page URL." 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @LNUSA

Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the exact same problem?

Pleople from weebly please, make this possible.

Thank you.

Has this been resolved yet? How do you 301 your existing weebly site (or individual pages) to an external/new/different domain?

Weebly's own DNS management doesn't even allow for 301s, only 302s.

This is problematic for anyone who has changed domain names. Google REQUIRES a 301 redirect.
