[FIXED] How to create 301 or 302 redirect in PrestaShop 1.7?

Issue

I have a Prestasop 1.7 based store. I changed a product URL. People can find this product from Google. But they can't access the product page, because the product page URL has changed. So I need to add 301 redirect rule for old URL to new URL. How can I do that?

Solution

You have two ways to do that, edit the .htaccess (if you have apache based web server) or to install a module.

If you choose the .htaccess, create a 301 redirect is quite simple, here an example:

<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Redirect 301 /old-cat/old-url.html http://www.youdomain.com/new-cat/new-url.html
</ifModule>

Insert this rule before the rules of PrestaShop. More info here

The other way, the module, you can install a module like this that simplify the operation.

UPDATE: Like @Agah Toruk says

It's a better option to disable the product and create the same product as a new product instead of changing the product URL. In this way, you can redirect the old product to the new product in product editing page easily.
