igorG-13	Our client used 2 websites. A Dutch (main domain) version and a German version (alias domain). We have rebuild this using a single WordPress installation with WPML. Now some of the old German content we would like to set some redirects for. How would we set redirects for the German side?

luo	The URL you mentioned above is a WorPress page, you can translate the page slug into secondary languages: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-page-slugs/

igorG-13	Hi Iuo, the URL is translated, we just want to know how to set redirects... Main site/language: hidden link Translated site: hidden link So how would we set redirects? In .htaccess? if so, how do we make redirects only affecting the hidden link ?

igorG-13	Per example; Someone typing in their address bar: objektbetten.de will be redirected to uwbedpro.nl because the url should be hidden link. How to set the redirect for objektbetten.de to hidden link by default?

luo	No, there isn't such kind of built-in feature within WPML plugins, It depends on your webserver, if you are using NGINX webserver, you can config it in NGINX settings: hidden link If you want to redirect some specific posts/pages, you can try other plugins, for example: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/redirect/
