Question

Hi, I installed everything in Umbraco and also see redirection functionality in the backoffice, but nothing actually happens. I checked with the FAQ and my pages all properly say ERROR 404 as it should be.

I am starting to ask myself it I should have done more than just installing everything? Does one need to put in code somewhere as well? The documentation says that one can add custom helpers (https://packages.skybrud.dk/skybrud.umbraco.redirects/docs/v4/configuration/) but do I also need to generate one if I dont want it to be customised?

Hi @Dabendorf

Based on the information that you've provided, I'd say it should work. Adding a custom helper is only necessary to customize parts of the package through C#.

Since it still doesn't work, can you share a bit more about your setup? Have you configured some custom 404 error handling? Can you share your Startup.cs and Program.cs? Remember to blank out if you have any sensitive information 😉

Hi, Thanks for your message. I actually found out what the problem was. The problem is if you have several websites in Umbraco but not everything has its own domain, but all of them have like /fi/, /no/ etc and you choose one specific, one needs to keep writing the website path like /fi/, /no/ as well. We thought that this wasn't necessary. It seems like everything works fine. Thank you for the great package and your quick answer.
