Hi guys. Have a current webpage which I need to delete on my wordpress site. What I need to know is what is the correct way of doing this ie will remove all necessary links etc , do I need to edit my sitemap file ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Are you trying to delete a post, delete a page, or remove the entire wordpress site?
Just deleting a page. I know the process to delete it but wanted to know if I need to do any other tweaking so I don’t have any broken links etc
If you have a manual sitemap, you’ll need to edit that.
If you have an automatic, just be sure to run it again.
You’ll want to delete the page then empty your trash can. If you have any hard-coded links for it in your theme anywhere, you’ll also have to remove those.
If it has any link juice you want to save, put in a 302 redirect in your .htaccess file to redirect it to another page.
