To set up a 301 redirect in Webflow to automatically redirect all template pages with a typo in the CMS collection slug, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and access the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Project settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left-hand sidebar.
  3. In the Project settings, select the Hosting tab.
  4. Scroll down to the 301 Redirects section and click on "Add Redirect".
  5. In the "From" field, enter the incorrect URL with the typo in the CMS collection slug.
  6. In the "To" field, enter the correct URL with the typo fixed. Make sure the correct URL includes the correct CMS collection slug.
  7. Choose the redirect type as "301 Moved Permanently" from the dropdown menu.
  8. Click on the "Add" button to save the redirect.

Now, whenever someone tries to access the incorrectly typed URL, they will be automatically redirected to the correct URL with the fixed typo. The 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that is not only convenient for visitors but also helps search engines understand that the content has permanently moved to a new location.

Remember to test the redirect by trying to access the incorrect URL to ensure that it redirects correctly to the new, fixed URL. Additionally, make sure that the CMS collection slug is corrected in the Webflow CMS to avoid any further issues.
