Path redirect activation only for aged content

Created on 1 July 2009, about 16 years ago
Updated 20 August 2025, 9 days ago

As of now when we use Path redirect along with Pathauto and choose 'Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias' under 'Update action' it affects all title changes (assuming those titles are included in the alias). This may not be desirable in all use cases.

Example: A user creates a page with title 'what is up' and immediately edits the node title, changing the title to 'wassup' and saves the page again. As we have chosen 'Create a new alias. Redirect from old alias' the first alias will be automatically added to the redirect aliases list and .../what-is-up will from now on redirect to .../wassup.

Assuming that the redirect option is a part of good SEO practices the creation of redirect as mentioned above may not be necessary. So, can we have an option to create redirect only for nodes older than 3 days/ 1 week/ 2 weeks...depending on how frequently the site is crawled?

-thank you

    => status should be "Closed (won't fix)" or is there a fix for that.

    I am also interested for that as we only want redirects for SEO purposes if a path only existed for certain time (on day or even a few hours; i.e. due to typos in Title) we would prefer to not create an redirect. In case such a feature exists, please link it here.
