    Hi

    I recently moved a forum from domain.com/forum to domain.com

    I have found ways to 301 redirect the traffic but all of them hang onto the request in full, but just remove, /forum/.

    What i need to do is redirect domain.com/forum/index.php?search=newposts or domain.com/forum/profiles.php?edit etc., so everything requesting info from domain/forum, regardless of the request is redirected to domain.com/index.php

    Does that make sense? Any request to domain.com/forum, regardless of the request gets redirected to domain.com without the full address requested being carried over.

    Thanks

    :D

    Please the following .htaccess in the subfolder that you want to redirect everything:

    
redirect 301 / http://www.yourdomain.com/
    Code (markup):

    I need help with this same problem... I want to redirect visitors from old url (subfolder) to new url (main folder).

    old url is like:
    hxxp://www.yoursite.com/site/anything-blog-title/

    i want to redirect it to:
    hxxp://www.yoursite.com/anything-blog-title/

    The solution given above.. doesn't redirect to the post which visitor was trying to visit. It just redirects to the homepage..
