Need help, Deleted page with ID number as link and need the link back.

  • Hello everyone, So here is my problem. And yes I did search around first for almost 2 days before I posted this. I have a website running permalinks ID numbers IE: /?p=123, I9 deleted the page with the most traffic on my site because I no longer wanted to sell that specific product. But, I should have just deleted the content and forwarded the traffic to the new page. Which I didn’t, Now I need to recover the page ID and I cannot, when I make a new page it auto assigns a new page ID number. Anyone know a way to recover the page ID or create a new page with that custom number. BTW it was the highest number on the site. So I can delete any number I have made above that.

    Thank You

  • For SEO 301-redirecting a dead or changed page to the new location is still good practice, the best practice of all is not to change your URL in the first place.
    The .htaccess file is absolutely crucial for the correct operation of many sites, whether they’re running WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or similar platforms. The .htaccess file controls the URLs for sites and also adds many important security features.
    Open File Manager (cpanel – Select “Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)” ), you should be able to find the .htaccess file on that page. If not, navigate to your site’s root.

    You ca try with the code bellow in htaccess file at the end remember to replace url with your own. Remember HTAccess stuff is for Apache servers only.

    Redirect 301 /oldpage.html https://www.yoursite.com/newpage.html
