Full Version: Existing Links Used At My Old Site
MonsterSmallBusiness Forums > MonsterCommerce > How do I?

I have links out there that I really can't change that point to a URL on my old site.

Like... http://www.mysite.com/mypage.htm

Now with MC, this page does not exist.
I see that non-existing pages (404 errors) just route to the home page.

How can I get the existing links to route to new pages?
The new pages will most likely be sub-categories.

Can this be done be done by ftp-ing a page with the link name to my MC site and using a redirect? If so, I have never done a redirect, does anyone have the code for this?

The old site will be gone once the new site is running.

Any ideas? Please let me know.

Hi Charles-

You can definitely do what you suggest... in that you would upload that page, and have it redirect. You could also upload static content up on those pages and when you upload it, your customers will see some info, and then they can click through to your categories, or whatever page you wanted them to go to.

If you do want a redirect... something like this in an HTML page should do the trick

CODE
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.monstercommerce.com">
</head>

Charles does this make sense?

Tested and working.

Thank you.
