For people migrating existing published content to Hugo theres a good chance
 | 
			
		||||
you need a mechanism to handle redirecting old urls.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Luckily, this can be handled easily with aliases in Hugo.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Example
 | 
			
		||||
**content/posts/my-awesome-blog-post.md**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    ---
 | 
			
		||||
    aliases:
 | 
			
		||||
        - /posts/my-original-url/
 | 
			
		||||
        - /2010/even-earlier-url.html
 | 
			
		||||
    ---
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Now when you go to any of the aliases locations they
 | 
			
		||||
will redirect to the page.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Important Behaviors
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
1. *Hugo makes no assumptions about aliases. They also don't change based
 | 
			
		||||
on your UglyUrls setting. You Need to provide a relative path and the
 | 
			
		||||
complete filename or directory.*
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
2. *Aliases are rendered prior to any content and will be overwritten by
 | 
			
		||||
any content with the same location.*
