Besttech Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hello, I have changed the domain name of my store but i have a problem. For example when i access to www.oldstore.com/product1.html it does not go to www.newstore.com/product1.html but it goes to the homepage instead. How to correct it please? Thank you.

El Patron Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi, in old domain there are various ways to 'redirect' old shop to new. The key is 301 redirect if you are never going to use all domain links, only new links. ok..so how to do this? 1) .httacess redirects in root of old domain...(google .httaccess redirect old domain new domain for techniquies) 2) some hosting control panels allow you to redirect a domain to another...this varies...contact your hosting company. Note: contacting hosting company is always a nice way to approach this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Patron Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thank you, i have added an .htaccess on the old domain and it works. make sure you do both http and https...most techniques do not account for this. and special note: if you have ssl on old and new...if you let old ssl expire it will create unsecure issue and visitors will need to click proceed...can be ugly...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
