He can use the menu settings to disable pages being automatically added to the navigation, then manually add them as need be. Secondly, many plugins assume the accuracy of the menu. So putting 301 redirects in there may cause them to break. Plus, this may break in future WP updates as it's not a best practice (and even best practices sometimes change and break.) As far as SEO goes, having one link for one page is best. 301's are fine when pages move. The video you linked to is a year 1+ old..[limit] | |
