Duken Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Damn, i did something stupid. I merged an old topic to the new one..... Wrong way this old topic is very populair on google. Now the topic is gone and i wish i could undo this. I think you cant undo a merge. So i need to redirect the old URL to the new topic id / URL. How can i do this?! Hope there is someone with a Solution..... Regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duken Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Is there a good way to do a 301 with a .htaccess file for one forum URL? Or can this break more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Google “htaccess redirect single page” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duken Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well it looks good . I could find that @opentype ? For visitors: My new .htaccess file (bold) is added. I added two because of a rename of the topic. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forums/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico)(\?|$) /forums/404error.php [L,NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /forums/index.php [L]redirect 301 /forums/topic/35332-formule-1-op-pc-kijken-via-streams-zonder-ziggo/ /forums/topic/36172-formule-1-2018-kijken-via-live-streams-zonder-ziggo/ redirect 301 /forums/topic/35332-formule-1-2017-op-pc-kijken-via-streams-zonder-ziggo/ /forums/topic/36172-formule-1-2018-kijken-via-live-streams-zonder-ziggo/ </IfModule> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I know this may be begging for trouble because the redirect solution is simple; however I ask, is it possible to change the topic ID provided you know both old and new IDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duken Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 No i can't change the topic ID. How can i do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 No, I wasn't suggesting it to you, sorry for hijacking your thread but today a mod on my site merged two threads the wrong way, just like you did. I also applied the redirection solution (it's not the first time this happens to us), but in the back of my mind I was thinking that it would be nice if we could simply change the topic ID (via query or other way). So, I'm also asking if it's possible at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, again, would need to get hacky with the database.....and I suggest you don't in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPlanet Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I suspected it wasn't a good idea. Thanks for the heads up anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
