301 Redirect info needed

[creative7]

I am developing our new site design on a sub domain(1.6) and will eventually port this to our main domain which is currently running 1.5.

I need some information on 301 site redirection in prestashop and where I need to put the redirects

 

Thanks in advance

[vekia]

you just simply want to redirect 301 from domain A to domain B ?

 

for example:

 

domainA.com/1-product.html -> domainB.com/1-product.html

domainA.com/2-product.html -> domainB.com/2-product.html

...

and so on?

Hi vekia,

Yes exactly that, where are the redirects placed? Or is there any documentation on this subject?

i have at the moment testshop.domain.com (the new site) and the old site domain.com, when the new site is finished i will change that from testshop.domain.com to domain.com, but i need redirects from old site pages to new site pages... if that makes any sense at all

@vekia Will the information in this thread work for this particular case?

can i just double check this is right, following rewrites in .htaccess

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.cabinmax.com/en/home/110-shirt-tidy-2-pack-2nd-generation-0702679484890.html [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.cabinmax.com/accessories-1/188-shirt-tidy-2-pack-2nd-generation-0702679484890.html [R=301]

 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.cabinmax.com/en/carry-on/101-madrid-0616316228764.html [NC]

RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.cabinmax.com/carry-on/180-madrid-0616316228764.html [R=301]

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help

You need to use 301 permanent redirection from old or removed pages to new version of same page.

Hi Sandeep,

The top link is my old page and bottom link is the new page, is this the correct way to format it? and also do these redirects go into the .htaccess file?

Yes PrestaShop its the right example of 301 rediraction.

""

rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

"""

These redirects have not worked in the .htaccess file 

 

any suggestions please?

At the very bottom of the htaccess on the 1.5 setup try

 

redirect 301 /old-page-name http://www.new.subdomain.com/pagename.html

 

Notice you don't use the domain name for the 1.5 setup just use /path/to/product.html

 

Just hope you don't have lots of products!

 

**Edit Just noticed you'll be moving to the proper domain not sending traffic to the subdomain.... Let me have a think**

 

OK.. so yu'll need to put at the bottom of the htaccess file

 

 

redirect 301 /old-page-name1.html /new-page-name1.html

redirect 301 /old-page-name2.html /new-page-name2.html

redirect 301 /old-page-name3.html /new-page-name3.html

redirect 301 /old-page-name4.html /new-page-name4.html

 

You may need to change (in seo and urls) the route to products, categories and cms so you don't have any conflicts. As long as the route is slightly different on the new site you'll be fine.

Clint,

Thanks for the info, and unfortunately, I have around 500 links to redirect... the fun begins!
