    Hello support,

    Please let me ask a short question:

    When redirecting files, should I redirect the permalink as well as the file-URL?
    Or is redirecting only the file-URL sufficient?

    Thanks in advance.

    What is the file-URL and how is it different to the permalink?

    When I open Medialibrary with the display mode=list (so not the mode=grid), then I open a image. Below the title is the permalink: http://www.domain-name.nl/filename/.

    On the right is the file URL: https://www.domain-name.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/filename.webp

    Thanks again.

    I’m not sure exactly what you are referring to there, but you should use whatever the URL is for the page or resource you want to redirect.

    This uploaded image should help me explain:

    The text I have added shows the two differences 🙂

    (Sorry I did not add the image in the first place)

    I’ll refer back to my previous statement – redirect whatever is the URL for the page or resource you want to redirect. If you want to redirect the file then use that, if you want to redirect the page then use that.
