OK here is the thing:
I have Post1.html, with some content, which is ranking high on google. I want to redirect this post to an external URL
Meanwhile, I want to create a new post (post2.html) to which I will copy the content that was on post1.html.
I am using Wordpress SEO plugin by Yoast on WP.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I want to double check my settings before going live with it:
On post1.html, on the "advanced tab" of WP SEO, I should enter the URL I want to redirect to in "301 Redirect:" and leave "Canonical URL:" blank
On post2.html, , on the "advanced tab" of WP SEO, I should enter "post1.html" in "Canonical URL:" and leave "301 Redirect:" blank
Is that the correct setting? Or will it loop indefinitely between the 2 pages?
Thanks in advance
