#8924 – Can 4SEO also replace efficiently REDJ?

Hi,

I'm pretty sure 4SEO  - and sh404SEF for nearly 13 years before today - can do anything REDJ can do (and quite a bit more really).

It can of course use regexp when doing redirect or adding canonicals. You may also not have to, as many cases can be addressed just by using our wildcards caracters similar to:

from: /blog/{*}/{*}

to: /blog/{*}

(This removes one level of category in the blog pages for instance).

I suggest you have a look at the 4SEO redirect rules page of our documentation to get  a better feel of how this work.

Note that to see how you can select pages for the redirect, you should look at the "Rules" documentation page. This tells you how you decide whether a rule runs or not, that is when your redirect is triggered.

As you'll see, you can trigger redirects not just using some URL specification but also:

- based on the component used

- based on the category the page belongs to

- based on a custom fields value: you can have a checkbox or a "Redirect" custom fields in your article edit page, and 4SEO will use that if set

- redirect can be active between dates only.
