“Redirects” selected in WordPress sidebar
From the "Redirects" page, you will configure each redirect you want to add. Select " 301 Moved Permanently " from the " Type " drop-down menu.
Next, type or paste the full (i.e. absolute) address of the "old URL" into the corresponding text box. Type the address of the new URL into the "URL" text box.
“Redirects – Yoast SEO” page

Once you have redirected all the relevant URLs, you now need to verify your new website.
