Could someone please help me.

I have been looking all over for how to do this and I cannot find any help or support so I would really appreciate your support.

I simply want to do a url redirect at the following link:

http://www.starexhibits.com/catchthebrilliance

As you can see right now I have an image that is linked to:

http://www.starmicrosites.com/catchthebrilliance

I would like to just have the page automatically go to http://www.starmicrosites.com/catchthebrilliance

but I am a wordpress user, and very new to expression engine. I did a url redirect before and it was very easy through wordpress using:

<meta http-equiv=“refresh” c>

but expression engine just scrambles up <meta> tags and I have no idea what else to do. I am currently trying to accomplish the change in the template editor.

Could someone please walk me through the proper steps.

Thank You!

Redirect Tag?  {redirect="whatever-your-new-page-is"}

That tag is only for redirecting to another template, not another webpage.

What exactly does “expression engine just scrambles up <meta> tags” mean?  I just tried: <meta http-equiv=“refresh” > and it worked just fine.

I enter:

<META http-equiv=“refresh” c URL=http://www.starmicrosites.com/catchthebrilliance/”>

Click Update

and it becomes:

this:& l t ; META http-equiv=“refresh” content=“0; URL=http://www.starmicrosites.com/catchthebrilliance/” & g t ;

and then if I view the page after the update it will just display as text on the page and will not actually forward:

<META http-equiv=“refresh” c URL=http://www.starmicrosites.com/catchthebrilliance/”>

Looks like you got it working?

What do you have entered in the template?
