To redirect a page in Joomla, you can use the following methods:

1. Using the built-in Redirect Component:

• Go to Components > Redirect in your Joomla administrator panel.
• Click on the "New" button to create a new redirect.
• Enter the old URL (the URL you want to redirect) in the "Old URL" field and the new URL in the "New URL" field.
• Save the redirect and the next time someone tries to access the old URL, they will be automatically redirected to the new URL.

1. Using a Joomla Extension: There are several Joomla extensions available that can help you set up redirects easily. One popular extension is “Regular Labs - ReReplacer” which allows you to set up redirects using a user-friendly interface.
2. Editing the .htaccess file: You can also set up redirects by editing the .htaccess file in your Joomla root directory. You can add redirect rules using the mod_rewrite module to specify the old and new URLs. Make sure to backup the .htaccess file before making any changes.
3. Using a plugin: There are also Joomla plugins available that can help you set up redirects easily. One popular plugin is “SH404SEF” which not only helps with setting up redirects but also provides other SEO functionalities.

Choose the method that is most convenient for you and ensure that your redirects are set up properly to avoid any issues with your website's SEO and user experience.
