To redirect a page to an element stored in a Webflow CMS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a unique identifier for the element in the CMS: In the Webflow CMS, make sure the element you want to redirect to has a unique identifier. You can do this by adding a field to the CMS collection and setting it as a unique identifier. For example, you could create a field called "slug" and set it as a Text field.

  2. Get the URL for the CMS item: In the Webflow CMS, go to the collection item that contains the element you want to redirect to. Copy the URL of that particular item.

  3. Create a redirect: Now, go to the Project Settings in Webflow and click on the Hosting tab. Scroll down to the 301 Redirects section and click on the Add new redirect button.

  4. Set up the redirect: In the From field, enter the URL of the page you want to redirect from. In the To field, enter the URL of the CMS item with the unique identifier appended to it. For example, if your CMS item URL is https://www.example.com/blog/my-cms-item, you would enter /blog/my-cms-item in the To field.

  5. Publish your changes: After setting up the redirect, make sure to publish your changes in Webflow for them to take effect.

By following these steps, you can easily redirect a page to an element stored in a Webflow CMS.
