AtariAge Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Has anyone created Apache mod_rewrite rules to convert Invision 3.4.x forum links to 4.x? I just moved my forum recently from 3.4.x to 4.4.4, and it seems quite a few old links no longer work. Links to specific threads, posts, conversations, and links to specific forums don't seem to work, for instance. I'm sure others are broken as well, but those would be the big ones I'm most concerned with. Which is bad, since there are thousands of external links to my forum, not to mention many tens of thousands of internal links within the forum. Would be really nice to have those links properly redirected with a 301 redirect (permanently changed). Thanks, ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlago Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Identify some of the most frequently broken links, and a new working address. As you have formulated your topic - there is no universal way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have formulated your topic - there is no universal way. I figured this must be a relatively common issue for people coming from 3.4.x to 4.x. I'll file a support ticket first and see what Invision has to say. Thanks, ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 3.x links should redirect to the 4.x equivalents. If that isn't working, a ticket is the best route to go yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariAge Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Yeah, definitely not working and I did open a ticket. Have to add some additional information to it today. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
