URGENT | Redirection question

Hi all,

This is the site i am referring to http://vb4style.com/

I need someone to help me redirect my old urls to my new vBulletin installation.

Please google: site:vb4style.com

and if you have a few minutes to help i would GREATLY appreciate if someone could reply or PM me with the correct code to add to my .htaccess file, so that i do not get penalized.

A HUGE THANKS IN ADVANCED TO ANYONE WHO CAN TAKE THE TIME TO DO THIS FOR ME.

Regards Darren

yes some links are no longer current as i am now using vBulletin 4...

I wish to redirect the old urls to my main page: http://vb4style.com as the structure is different ??

Any help on this is as i said greatly appreciated !!

Thanks

 

I think the general rule you are looking for is:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]

where domain.com is your old domain and
domain2.com your new one.

Good luck.

 

Thanks..... but... i am using the same domain... i scrapped my old WP installation and have now installed vBulletin 4... i just wish to redirect the old articles (only 3 or 4) to my main page vb4style.com

Thanks again for your feedback... but i am still a little lost

EXAMPLE: http://vb4style.com/vbulletin-4-styles (DEAD PAGE) i need this to redirect to my main page http://vb4style.com/

I would assume this is easy however i have never dealt with redirects before..

Cheers again... any advice on this would be great. Thanks

 

If you want all the old URLs to redirect to homepage, you need to edit your htaccess file.
Put the line anywhere in the file

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

That'll do it

 

Create a notfound.html with this code:

<script language=javascript>
self.location.href='http://vb4style.com/';
</script>

Code (markup):

Add this to .htaccess

ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html 

Code (markup):

 

Appreciate that mate working a charm... i only had a few articles saying my products were coming soon, now i can only hope i don't lose my serps

Cheers again your a star
