Fortunately, implementing it on your site requires just a few simple steps.
In this video, you’ll see the video tutorial on how to set up 301 redirects in WordPress websites, starting from the simplest to the most advanced methods:

Here’s the code block you should put below the REWRITE ENGINE ON line:
Redirect 301 /old-url/
Don’t forget to replace /old-url/ with the source URL and with the target URL.
Alternatively, you can use this .htaccess redirect to move your old website to a new domain:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [L,R=301,NC]
Make sure to replace both olddomain.com and newdomain.com with your site’s domain names.
Set Up 301 Redirects Using a PHP Script
Copy this code block to your new .php file:
?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location:
exit();
?
Remember to replace with the new URL you want to redirect to.
