Hello,

I know it's not possible to add a redirect for /collections in the Shopify redirects.

However, would it still be possible to force a redirect (perhaps with Javascript)?
I like two of my /collections urls to redirect to a page.

For example

/collections/classics to /pages/classics

Thank you!

Hi @Pura-web ,

This is Kate from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:
Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
Step 2: Asset->/theme.liquid->Paste below code before </body> in theme.liquid file:

<script>
      let url = window.location.href;
      if (url.includes('/collections/classics')) {
        location.href = '/pages/classics';
      }
      if (url.includes('/collections/collection-2')) {
        location.href = '/pages/collection-2';
      }
</script>

I hope it would help you

This worked, thank you so much! Would it be possible that you don't see the 'in between' page appearing? Now it goes to the original link first and then jumps to the new page. It happens fast, but it is still noticeable.

Hi @Pura-web ,

Thank you for responding. Since it is written in js, which js will load after the HTML, you feel like there will be something like that.
But I think it won't affect much.

Best regards,

You can add the code inside <head> </head>. This way the JS will work before the page is fully loaded.
