XF 1.2 Mybb to xenforo

[neil1]

Hi Guys

Ok so i have moved to this new forum but i was on mybb latest version before the move.

My problem is now is sorting the 301 redirects. I have kep to the same directory (/forum) But i am unable to make the redirect properly.

my old seo links was /forum/Thread-Waitrose for example. And my new ones are /forum/threads/waitrose.774/

is there anyway around this to sort it?

Did any of your previous links include ID numbers?

 

[neil1]

no i used the seo plug for mybb

 

[Jeremy]

Do you still have the old MyBB Database + save the import logs (unless you retained IDs)?

 

[neil1]

also my xenforo is 1.2.4, sorry for choosing 1.3

 

[neil1]

I have the old database still and and import log

For links without IDs, you generally need to manually write redirects for each case. (You can use something like: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect)

 

[neil1]

please ignorer the lack of knowledge here. But do i put these link is a file like my .htaccess?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, they must go in the .htaccess file.
