Redirect Links

💡 In this guide, you will set product-category, product, post, and page targets for buttons and menus in that order. Estimated time: 10 minutes.

Main rule: confirm the target content exists. Prefer an Internal selection when available, and use a manual Custom path only when needed.

Common Entry

Open the page designer and select a button, menu, or module. Find Target in the right properties panel:

  • For an existing page, product, post, or category, choose Internal when available.
  • For a custom path, choose Custom, then enter the path.

This method does not require finding or copying a URL. It works for header menus, dropdown menus, and other modules that support Internal. First confirm that the category exists in Product Categories, then configure it in this order:

  1. Choose Internal for the menu item's Target.
  2. Choose Products in the first dropdown.
  3. Choose Product Category in the second dropdown.
  4. Under Select slug, choose the existing product category.

Correct setting path:

Target → Internal → Products → Product Category → Target category

AllinCMS admin internal product category link setting - Target is set to Internal, Products, and Product Category, with an inset showing selection of an existing category

Prefer Internal

When Product Category is available in the properties panel, use this method. The system links directly to the existing category, so you do not need to type a category path.

Method 2: copy the category path (only when Internal is unavailable)

Use a manual path only when the current module does not provide Internal or Product Category. Open the frontend product page, click the category, then copy the path from the browser address bar.

Example:

/products?category=wireless-earphones

Paste that path into the module or menu Target.

2. Enter it under TargetChoose Custom, then paste the category path you copied.

Correct setting path:

Target → Internal → Products → Product → Target product

Configure it in this order:

  1. Choose Internal for the menu item's or button's Target.
  2. Choose Products in the first dropdown.
  3. Choose Product in the second dropdown.
  4. Under Select slug, choose the specific product to open.

Create the product first. Only existing products appear in the dropdown. If the target is missing, create and save it under Add Products.

3. Post Link

Correct setting path:

Target → Internal → Posts → Post → Target post

Configure it in this order:

  1. Choose Internal for the menu item's or button's Target.
  2. Choose Posts in the first dropdown.
  3. Choose Post in the second dropdown.
  4. Under Select slug, choose the specific post to open.

If the post is missing from the dropdown, open Add Posts and confirm that it has been created and saved.

This method does not require finding or typing a page path. First confirm that the target page exists, then configure it in this order:

  1. Choose Internal for the menu item's Target.
  2. Keep the type set to Page.
  3. Choose the destination page, such as OEM, in the dropdown on the right.
  4. A page does not require a slug selection; the system links directly to it.

Correct setting path:

Target → Internal → Page → Target page

AllinCMS admin internal page link setting - the menu Target is set to Internal and Page, then OEM is selected as the destination page

Prefer Internal

When the target page can be selected in the properties panel, use this method. The system links directly to the existing page, so you do not need to type a route.

Page not created yet? Read Create a Page.

Method 2: enter a Custom path (only when Internal is unavailable)

Use a manual path only when the current module does not provide Internal. Page links must match real routes. If /oem already exists, enter it under Custom:

/oem

Do not guess. Open the Routes list to check existing page paths.

AllinCMS admin page designer menu link - the navigation menu Target is set to Custom with /oem so the menu opens an existing page

5. Fix 404

If clicking shows 404, check whether the link is wrong.

Common mistake:

/product

The product list page is usually:

/products

AllinCMS admin 404 example - the page shows Not Found, indicating a menu or button points to a path that does not exist
