Interesting. There aren't any custom route filters.I think you could use mod_rewrite in .htaccess to redirect all the XF URLs to point to XF being in a subfolder? You'd have to cover at least these suffixes:
yourforum.com/members|threads|posts|attachments|profile-posts|forums
(also assuming it doesn't conflict with any XF route filters you may have defined)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(threads|forums|members|posts|attachments)/(.*)$ /newdir/$1/$2 [R=301,L]
I'm on LiteSpeed, which is a drop replacement of Apache.I will experiment with this later tonight. Are you on Apache?
Hmm. Looks like the only way to get this to work is to move XF in its own subdirectory and setup redirects.I am encountering expected problems with this directory aliasing. I haven't been able to get it working.
I think wizardry is exactly what it will be. I would trust jake Bunce to be very good at this.But this still involves doing some .htaccess wizardry.
It took at least 3 weeks before the search engines again were on the right track.
Correct!But the new URLs not being listed for three weeks is no problem at all, provided the redirects are working.
