|

Hi,
This question may completely show my misunderstanding of this plugin but I'm going to ask anyway.
I recently upgraded from PHPBB2.0 to 3.0. I changed my PHPBB root directory from -http://www.example.com/forum to -http://www.example.com/keyword-rich-forum.
The original forum has been indexed by the search engines. The new forum has not been indexed yet. Will this mod redirect the old forum to the new forum? Or is it a simple fix like adding a redirect to my htaccess file?
Thanks!

You need to implement HTTP 301 redirection from the old directory to the new one, otherwise, all your old url will be 404 and your new location will look like a complete new forum for SE.
This can be done in the .htaccess, you could add this :
| Code: | | RedirectPermanent /olddir http://www.example.com/newdir/ |
At the very beginning of your root .htaccess

Because I was already using the rewrite rules for my old forum I simply changed it to my new forum directory. This seems to work great.
In my htaccess file:
| Code: |

I'm using the above code along with the new redirects for PHPBB3 and they work very well together.
Thanks for your help!
