Hey… I have pages at go.domain.com/landing-page/

My real domain is domain.com… when a web savvy user trys to take away the page to see only go.domain.com they get an error.

Is there a way to set somewhere in Unbounce that go.domain.com redirects to another place?

Thanks

Liam

Hi Liam, we don’t yet have an *easy* way for you to set up a redirect from one page to another URL, but you can create an Unbounce page and use it as your root domain (go.domain.com.) To do this, create a new page and hit the “Change URL” button. Delete the path (in your example, the “landing-page” part) and save the changes. Publish this page and it will now live at go.domain.com.

If you just want to redirect this to another URL, you can add some javascript to the page (set the ‘placement’ to head) and paste this in:

<script type="text/javascript"> <br /> window.location = "http://www.google.com/"; <br /> </script>   

And of course replace “http://www.google.com/” with your own URL.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the swift response Carter - that’s done.

Cheers 😃

Although I had to try a few times… as it gave me the error “another page is already using this URL” so may be an intermittent bug or something.

Just FYI !

This article was tremendously helpful.  I’m very impressed with Unbounce so far as a neewby.   Jim

Hi, it there a way to pass on URL parameters with this method ?

Since this is possible and is only lacking a user interface, can we request Unbounce support to implement custom redirects on our behalf?

Etienne,
Were you able to find a method to redirect and pass URL parameters?

Hello, to solve this situation, you can use the method of “redirect” to move your followers from one page to another.

No, sorry.

Hello Liam

For this issue you can use redirect method.
