taxonomy-term-redirect.md

Redirecting visitors from an auto-generated taxonomy term page to a node (like a landing page) is totally doable, but there's a trick to it!

You can't just type the auto-generated url for the taxonomy term into the redirect; for whatever reason it just doesn't work. (For example, "resource-types/law-overviews" wouldn't work.) Instead, you need to use the taxonomy term number.

Go to the term listing page for the taxonomy. Click or hover over the edit button to get the edit url, which incldes the term number.

Then in the redirect, you put /taxonomy/term/THE-TERM-NUMBER-YOU-JUST-FOUND into the "From" field, and use autocomplete to select the desired node "To" field.

ex: From: /taxonomy/term/118 To: Law Overviews (416757)

This is a little complicated, so let me know if I didn't explain it clearly enough 😛
