How can I redirect a URL to another domain?

Question

I want foo.example.horse/short to redirect to the external URL https://some.long.org/url/that/i/want/to/redirect_to. Is there a simple way to do this from Joomla, or do I have to edit the .htaccess file?

Answer 1

You could unpublish /short so that it 404s, and then use the redirects manager. (Components > Redirects).
