Hello Xenforo. I am currently migrating from MyBB to Xenforo and I have some important links that people share, and I would very much like to have these redirected corretly in my new forum. I heard that it was somehow possible to tell search engines to stop using the old links too?

Anyways these are the old links:
  1. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-akvariehobbien-hvor-skal-jeg-starte
  2. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-den-fiskeløse-cyklus-etablering-af-nyt-akvarie
  3. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-akvarie-vandet-bliver-hvidt
  4. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-hvad-er-kvælstofkredsløbet-de-tre-stadier-i-dit-akvarie
  5. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-human-metode-til-aflivning-af-syge-fisk
  6. https://danskeakvarier.dk/thread-hvornår-er-ammoniak-ammonium-giftigt

Here are the new links:

  1. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/akvariehobbien-hvor-skal-jeg-starte.13/
  2. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/den-fiskeløse-cyklus-etablering-af-nyt-akvarie.7/
  3. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/akvarie-vandet-bliver-hvidt.9/
  4. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/hvad-er-kvælstofkredsløbet-de-tre-stadier-i-dit-akvarie.6/
  5. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/human-metode-til-aflivning-af-syge-fisk.15/
  6. https://danskeakvarier.dk/new/threads/hvornår-er-ammoniak-ammonium-giftigt.14/

I have seen your myBB forum and see very few treads.
How many treads do you have? If there are few you can do a manual redirect in the hatacces file

I note your myBB installation is still in the domain root.

I would recommend archiving that in a directory (or deleting it) and moving XF to the domain root, then implementing any redirects.

Yes my plan is to get the redirects in order, and then move xenforo to the root and remove mybb.

The redirects will change once XF is moved.

So you will either have to implement redirects now which don't work, or change them once you move XF.

Would this be correct?
Redirect 301 /thread-akvariehobbien-hvor-skal-jeg-starte https://danskeakvarier.dk/threads/akvariehobbien-hvor-skal-jeg-starte.13/

I assume i can write them in .htaccess within xenforo and then just move the whole bunch over? Of course without the folder

I moved my forum, but it seemed to break it a bit. Where and how can i correct the url. I can no longer access admin page or threads. o_O

Log in to the ACP directly at /admin.php and update the Board URL.

Seems like admin.php was missing. Strange, I think something happened under transfer...

Is there a way to validate, that all files are present?

I believe this can be fixed, with just moving the installation zip file in and just cancelling overwrite so all missing files get added?

I've seen the answer around here is just to download the latest version and to re-upload all the files in.

That seemed to fix the issues.

Now it seems like my 301 rewrites are not working.

I didn't do any of this when I moved from MyBB, I just used this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xenforo-redirects-for-vbulletin.6123/
As it was advised by @Chris D since it was similar to vBulletin, it works for the most part.
