djtide Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Hello - Searched around for this and found some older plugins (4.6) but nothing current. I'd like to have: - A list of 404's that are occuring, with manual redirection I provide - Enter direct folder or other URLs to redirect For example, I would like /forums/ which was my old URL to redirect to the homepage. Also, I'd like popular deep links to have a means of redirecting to the correct content. My overall issue is my old URL structure was a "vBulletin Addon" for SEO optimization, and any conversion was unlikely to know that URL conversion. Roughly 20% of my incoming traffic right now is 404.
djtide Posted July 16, 2022 Author Posted July 16, 2022 One thing I hoped might help was in advanced configuration, which looked like what I needed but in testing did not work as I had hoped: OOoooh, nevermind, that does work -- I was just testing a topic that no longer existed. Happy dance. SeNioR- 1
djtide Posted July 16, 2022 Author Posted July 16, 2022 The above works *sometimes* but seems to fail more often than not, presumably due to how regex parses the incoming URL. So I'm still curious if there are other solutions or if I should just hand-write some JavaScript to be executed in the head (if that's even possible).
Randy Calvert Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 I’m not aware of anything that exists today for this. I would personally do it with .htaccess instead of JS just to keep it cleaner and not mess with themes. SeNioR- 1
