# Agent: Not using Redirection

 * Hi there,
 * I installed redirection to redirect two old links (that I had on Wix) to new 
   links I have created for this new WP site.
 * The reason for which I haven’t created the same link in the first place is that
   Wix manages multilingual website with the “country prefix” at the beginning on
   the URL (es.pattygajaschi.com) while in my WP site (or better in the case Divi
   builder/theme) this option is not available (so I decided to to rename the URL
   and make them more appropriate to the content).
 * Anyway, when I try to redirect this link
 * [https://es.pattygajaschi.com/yin-yoga-teacher-training-spanish](https://es.pattygajaschi.com/yin-yoga-teacher-training-spanish)
 * to this one
 * [https://pattygajaschi.com/certificacion-de-yin-yoga-espanol/](https://pattygajaschi.com/certificacion-de-yin-yoga-espanol/)
 * I get an alert message saying that the “it will be converted to a server redirect”(
   which I have no idea what means).
 * Also when I check the status of the redirect, I get another message (with a yellow
   mark) saying:
 * Found: 500
    Agent: Not using Redirection Cannot connect to the server to determine
   the redirect status.
 * Does anyone know what all this means? Any help / steps on how I can fix these
   redirects and make them properly work?
 * THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fagent-not-using-redirection-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The domain es.pattygajaschi.com does not exist. A domain must exist before it
   can be redirected.

 * [@johnny5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/) Thank you John, that
   means there is no way I can redirect those es. links? Any other workaround? tx

 * It is impossible to redirect any domain that doesn’t exist. This is not a restriction
   of Redirection, but just how the internet works. There is no workaround.
