How to redirect unpublish news item to the News List

I know if you delete a page, it gives you an option to set a new pages as it's location. I believe you have a couple options:

1. (less desirable) Delete the page and set the new page as it's replacement, this sets up a URL alias i believe on that page you specify.
2. Leave the 'old' page in a published state, then in Navigation -> Set Menu Actions to Url Redirect and put in the page you wish it to go to (this will redirect people, but the page must be published, you may want to add some other field to say "don't show this page" on news listings)
3. Move the news story to some other location (like an archive folder) so the NodeAliasPath changes, remove the Url Aliases created from the move, then add the old "Url" path to the page you wish people to go to (parent news page)

Hope this helps!

If the news story does not exist how do I direct to the News List instead of a page not found. I was thinking of looking at the url for the "News" to be in the path.

Is there a way for Kentico to redirect to the parent page?

Did the answer(s) I provided back in Sept not work?

Hi Brenden, This question is a different angle. This question deals with old articles (300+ articles) that are not publish anymore and articles that were never in kentico...

After some thinking, I am now using the show non-published pages on the website in the Settings -> Content to avoid the 404 for articles that still exist on the site and leave the 404 for articles that never exist.

So for articles never in Kentico, just create an alias on the root /articles page for that old URL. For the non-published, you can do the same but if they are in Kentico, use the same approach I mentioned in the previous reply.
