Where to put a header redirect

place it on top of header.php reply if it works..

simply use this..

<?php
header("Location: https://www.example.com/");
?>

I;ve made that change, thanks very much for your reply.

I keep getting redirected now to:

https://www.iana.org/domains/example/

Bizarre, do you know why this keeps happening?

look carefully at the code below

<?php
header("Location: https://www.example.com/");
?>

see there is nothing like https://www.example.com replace it with your own valid site address where you want to redirect….

Don’t use header redirects. They cause problems for some users and are lousy for SEO. You need to use a 301 redirect at the server level – using .htaccess if this is appropriate for your server.

Thanks for the relies.

I’ve tried using a 301 redirect, but it sends me to an address in the wrong format:

https://www.oldwebsite.co.uk/www.newwebsite.co.uk

And I get a page can’t be displayed error

It won’t open the new address as its own window. ie https://www.newwebsite.co.uk

Then you haven’t set up the redirect correctly.

Many thanks agin for your reply.

I’ve used a redirection plugin, I cant see htaccess, I’m using a windows server.

Or ask your hosts for assistance.
