301 redirects in main navigation menu of WordPress website - is this okay for SEO?
- by Lewis Bassett
I want to allow a client to have a flexible way to configure the navigation menu for his WordPress website.
To that end, I have created a parent page called "Navigation", which has child pages for each page to be displayed in the navigation menu.
Those pages then get 301 redirected to the actual page that should be served.
This means the client can create pages freely, and then set up redirects for them as and when needed.
This is a really easy way for him to manage his main menu and it works well.
From an SEO point of view, is this okay? Will the pages be indexed fine?
