Redirects

Redirects & URL Aliases

URL Aliases

An alias is an alternative URL path for an item. When a visitor accesses the alias URL, Marble resolves it to the same item as the canonical URL.

Adding an Alias

In the item editor, open the URL Aliases section in the sidebar. Enter the alias path (e.g. /old-path) and select the language. Save.

Multiple aliases per item and per language are supported.

Use Cases

• Preserving old URLs after a site restructure
• Short URLs for campaign pages (e.g. /promo → /products/software/marble-cms-pro)
• Language-specific vanity URLs

Redirects

Manage system-wide redirects under System → Redirects.

Creating a Redirect

Field	Description
Source Path	The old URL path (e.g. /old-page)
Target Path	The new URL path — mutually exclusive with Target Item
Target Item	Select a content item — Marble resolves its canonical URL automatically
Status Code	301 (permanent, default) or 302 (temporary)
Active	Enable or disable the redirect

Redirect Hits

Each redirect tracks how many times it has been followed.

Redirect vs. Alias

	Alias	Redirect
Effect	Item renders at both URLs — no HTTP redirect	HTTP 301/302 response
SEO	Both URLs serve the same content	Search engines follow to target
Use case	Alternative access paths	Migrating from old URLs
