# CF\_TEMP\_REDIRECT

{% hint style="warning" %}
**WARNING:** Cloudflare is removing this feature and replacing it with a new feature called "Dynamic Single Redirect". DNSControl will automatically generate "Dynamic Single Redirects" for a limited number of use cases. See [`CLOUDFLAREAPI`](/provider/cloudflareapi.md) for details.
{% endhint %}

`CF_TEMP_REDIRECT` uses [Cloudflare](/provider/cloudflareapi.md)-specific features ("Forwarding URL" Page Rules) to generate a HTTP 302 temporary redirect.

If *any* [`CF_REDIRECT`](/language-reference/domain-modifiers/service-provider-specific/cloudflare-dns/cf_redirect.md) or `CF_TEMP_REDIRECT functions are used then` dnscontrol\` will manage *all* "Forwarding URL" type Page Rules for the domain. Page Rule types other than "Forwarding URL" will be left alone.

{% hint style="warning" %} **WARNING**: Cloudflare does not currently fully document the Page Rules API and this interface is not extensively tested. Take precautions such as making backups and manually verifying `dnscontrol preview` output before running `dnscontrol push`. This is especially true when mixing Page Rules that are managed by DNSControl and those that aren't. {% endhint %}

This example redirects the bare (aka apex, or naked) domain to www:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
D("example.com", REG_MY_PROVIDER, DnsProvider(DSP_MY_PROVIDER),
  CF_TEMP_REDIRECT("example.com/*", "https://www.example.com/$1"),

);
```
