Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, Following some testing, you can actually use the xml update feature for both categories and products individually, the trick is to first remove the existing rel=canonical that is put in if you have those settings turned on for that in the magento admin. So: <reference name="head"><action method="removeItem"><type>link_rel</type> <name>http://www.domain.com/oldurl</name></action></reference> <action method="addLinkRel"><rel>canonical</rel> <href>http://www.domain.com/new-url</href></action> You will need to identify the canonical url being inputted into the code, add it to the oldurl bit above and then put in the new url. You can do this in products and also for categories in the custom design tab and then the custom layout update box. Hope that helps!

Wondering why you would recommend this solution vs. confining such redirects to the .htaccess file. Thanks.
