Does WordPress Automatically Create Redirects?

WordPress automatically creates redirects when you update a post or page. If you make changes to a post that affects the URL, WordPress updates the redirects automatically.

If you make changes to a post or page that doesn’t affect the URL, you need to manually create a redirect.

When you create a redirect, WordPress creates a 301 (Moved Permanently) HTTP response. The redirect tells browsers to update the URL for the post or page to the new location.

If you want to disable redirects, you can uncheck the box for the post or page in the WordPress admin area.

WordPress redirects are a helpful way to keep your website consistent and organized. If you make changes to a post or page that affects the URL, WordPress updates the redirects automatically.
