Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Do you guys have a step-by-step guide in implementing 301 redirection using this httpd main server config file?

Thanks in advance!

I'll try this one. Big help ThompsonPaul! I'll let you know if this works. Thanks a lot!

Why is there no "301" in the following unlike in the first sample:

Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http:/myexample.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

I'm planning to redirect the following pages to one new URL/landing page:

Old URLs:

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/1

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/2

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/3

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/4

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/5

http://www.olddomain.com/folder/page/6

New URL:

http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Code in .htaccess that I will be using:

RedirectMatch 301 /folder/page/(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/new-folder/new-page

Let me know if this is correct.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I just want to ask if there are other possible issues/problems (other than server load) once we implement 301 redirections for 10,000+ URLs using .htaccess. Are there other alternatives?

Which one is better in your experience? Please don't suggest other hosting services. I just want to know your thoughts from website management, blogging, hosting and SEO standpoint about the 4 mentioned hosting sites. Thanks in advance!

What should I use in .htaccess if I will redirect an old URL with parentheses to a new URL like below?

RedirectMatch 301 http://www.olddomain.com/buy/nike-shoes/kobe(7)/red http://www.newdomain.com/buy/nike-shoes/kobe(7)/red

Or

RedirectMatch 301 http://www.olddomain.com/buy/nike-shoes/kobe(7)/red http://www.newdomain.com/buy/nike-shoes/kobe(7)/red

Please share your experiences/suggestions in redirecting a set of pages (10,000 or more pages/URLs) from an existing domain to new URLs under a new domain.

Thanks in advance!

Let me know your thoughts guys. Thanks in advance!

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions guys.

I just want to know your thoughts if it is necessary to add meta noindex nofollow tag in each page of my new website before migrating the old pages to new pages under a new domain? Would it be better if I'll just add a blockage in my robots.txt then remove it once we launch the new website?

Thanks!

We will remove a vertical/division from our current site and migrate the URLs (category and product-specific pages) to new URLs under a new domain. Let me know your thoughts Max!

By the way, thanks for sharing the redirect generator tool.

Thanks Max! Your answers are a big help. Last question, do I need to 301 redirect the old to new URLs within the day we will launch the new site after removing the old site? or should we prepare 302 redirects and check each URL that are still live(will be removed in site launch) if they land on the appropriate and new URLs and run 301 redirections after?

I just want to ask if it is necessary to run 302 redirections first before redirecting old to new URLs permanently. I heard that we should run temporary redirects first so we can check after and to avoid passing the link juice but I want to hear thoughts from experts. Do i need to test 302s for old pages that are still live or should we redirect old URLs once these pages already removed from the site?

I'm currently looking for a Wordpress theme similar to e-commerce/shopping websites like ebay. I'm planning to put up a buy and sell site for shoes where people can upload shoe listings on their own.. The site we're planning doesn't have a buy/checkout button and paypal integration so it will look like more of an online catalog and not a shopping cart.  We will just add a contact number/email in the product listing so a buyer can contact and personally meet the seller. Let me know if this can be done in Wordpress + e-commerce plugins.

I would also like to know if there's a WP plugin that will allow users to use Facebook or Twitter to login/sign up in our website/platform. Let me know if this is possible in Wordpress by installing a plugin.

Thanks in advance!

I would also like to know if there are custom shopping cart providers that allow Facebook or Twitter login/sign up integrated in the platform. Let me know if this is also possible in Wordpress by adding a plugin.

Thanks Michael!

ul.nav a#homelink { text-indent: -9999px; background: url('http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/MyProduct/wp-content/themes/MyProduct/images/home-icon.png') no-repeat center 6px; padding: 0px; }

ul.nav a#homelink span { display: block; padding: 5px 9px 8px 5px; width: 16px; }

I'm having problems in adding back the "house" icon instead of a "Home" text in my menu. I don't what "CSS class" should I use to be added in the Home menu button (Appearance>Menu).

I'm currently using a "MyProducts" Wordpress theme by ElegantThemes.

Thanks in advance!

I agree with you. This is quite clear for me now after reading this Google link:
