Add these rules to the top of the .htaccess file in the web root of myforum.com:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^rankedpost$ /mynewpost [R=301,L]

Like this?

@Robdenio

Yep. That works.

I think i am being a bit dumb here but just checked analytics and all my users are seeing error message so i'm still loosing 75% of my traffic to error pages.

I have put the code in but still no joy

http://www.snapchatforum.com/: Increase in server errors
Google detected a significant increase in the number of URLs we could not access. It is likely that your server had an internal error or was busy when attempting to process these requests.







Recommended action

• Check the Crawl Errors page in Webmaster Tools.
• Check your scripts and script permissions.
• Examine the log files on the server for your site for scripts or pages that might be crashing.
• Consider addressing the load on your server.

[Robdenio]

Still need help with this

 

[Robdenio]

Still need help with this, I have sent a ticket, but no response my rankings are dropping as we speak if you know how this is done please help me.

You have had responses to both of your tickets...

 

[Paul B]

I have sent a ticket, but no response

Both of your tickets on the same issue were responded to promptly, advising you what you need to do.

 

[Robdenio]

The response I got was add each url redirect manually, so I responded with I have tried but it's not working with no response

So I opened another ticket with an immediate response saying "you have already had a "response" like you guys have solved my issue.

The fact of the matter remains I'm still having this issue, I have lost 75% of my traffic

It appears that your email didn't parse into the system correctly (possibly because of the screenshot). I've brought it in manually, though you might be safer using the web interface.

We'll try to do what we can, but please note that you're really just trying to redirect old URLs to new ones. This is a process that is generally independent of XenForo and thus not really in the scope of our official support.

Thank you for your reply Mike I understand.
