Redirects

Because the VIP Platform uses NGINX (not Apache), there are no .htaccess files. Redirects for URLs must be handled with alternative methods such as WordPress plugins, or programmatic redirects in vip-config.php or in writing redirects directly into a WordPress site’s theme code. The most suitable solution(s) for a site’s redirects should be chosen based on the amount and types of redirects needed.

Redirects with a 302 HTTP response status are cached by the page cache for 1 minute, and redirects with a 301 HTTP response status are cached for 30 minutes.
