Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
arbee Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I am not planning to do this anytime soon but would like to get an idea in advance. If I change my domain name will I be able to easily change a setting somewhere and have every thread in the old domain name 301 redirect to the new domain name with the same paths? Naturally this is to retain SEO. I own both domain names.
Fiber Forums Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I'd like to know how to change domain on IPB 4.0 myself.
ipbfuck Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 u can use htaccess domain redirect RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !newdomain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301] and remember to fix License link from "ipb clients section" and in global_config.php u can also search and replace in database to fix old domain in new (eg for internal link). maybe a tool like this can be a,good idea: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ regards
