    Solved Redirect my old forum to my new forum?

    Post by Lioth April 5th 2013, 5:08 am

    Hello again Hello. I've decided to create a new forumotion forum instead of my old one, and I basically want the old one's URL to redirect to my new one.

    I use this code inside index_body, replacing all, so that the old forum will redirect to the new one (I didn't include my forums' URLs):

    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>A web page that points a browser to a different page after 2 seconds</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=http://-------------------/">
    <meta name="keywords" content="automatic redirection">
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href="http://http://----------------------/portal</a>
    manually.
    </body>
    </html>

    The problem is that whenever somebody goes to the old forums' threads [eg. http://------.com/monster-mate-thread/] it won't redirect to the new one and it says "The requested page does not exist".

    Have not really tried it out, but you can add such a javascript.
    Code:
    window.location.href = 'your_url';

    There were a few ways provided there, just check which one is working.
