Redirecting url

Community support
#1

Hi, I would like to redirect/forward my free url (from my free 000webhost account) to another URL (let`s assume it would be this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWoyM1Q1tw )

What exactly do I have to do?
When I`m at “Website Settings” --> “Redirects”, I click on “New Redirect”.
Then I am on this site with “Redirect from”, “Redirect to” and “Redirect type”

At “Redirect from” there is already written my free URL in the grey box. And in the right part of “Redirect from” I only type slash ( / ).

At “Redirect to” I chose “https://” and then I write “www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJWoyM1Q1tw”.

And at “Redirect type” I chose “Permanent (301)”

Then I click on “Create” and it is created in this list. I have no other redirections there, but it simply doesn`t work.

When I follow my own 000webhost link, I do not get redirected… (Also after a while)

What did I do wrong here?

Thanks a lot for your help :slight_smile:

The easier way would be to login to your file manager and create a file called index.php; then edit that file and paste this script as-is, replacing URLHERE with the YouTube video’s URL.

header('Location: URLHERE');

For some reason, the forum won’t let me complete the code; but wrap the line above with the PHP tags
