Menu, Dynamic Pages and Redirect Management
Check menu shortcuts, buttons, and links in app content separately. A fixed path can remain obsolete after a side renaming.
Compare the saved link with the currently published slug. A link to a dynamic item may become obsolete after data or path changes, although the template itself remains accessible.
Where to check the setting in Wix
In the link dialog, check the selected page destination or the stored URL text. For dynamic pages, you also control the item slug. If an old address is used externally, only add a suitable forwarding in the URL administration.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: A guide links to /sortiment/alt/, the landing page responds with 404. The location is the guide, the error answer comes from the destination.
follow-up audit in Wix
Navigate from the actual site to the destination. Jointly control direct new links and, if necessary, suitable forwardings for old addresses.
Change the link at the location to a suitable, accessible address. After that, retrieve the same found page and follow the link that was actually issued.
Derogations and scope
If there is no suitable replacement, removing or rephrasing can be better than redirecting to the start page.
Reference: published Wix/Wix Studio websites. SEO settings differ by static page, dynamic page type and installed app; do not require a freely managed server configuration.
