Question Old links no more working

[Norman]

I had this links structure using the free version:

44 Pagina Non Trovata - Klayz.com Network

Now I updated to the pro version and this link (which is on a post on my forum) is no more working.

Any way to make them works? Or should I go to each page where I have linked other threads and change the links one by one? This would be hard!

Even this one: 44 Pagina Non Trovata - Klayz.com Network
Taken directly from Google.
Please let me know as soon as possible as I'm currently loosing a lot.

Check this:
Google

This is the actual content of my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^klayz\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.klayz.com/community/$1 [R=301,L]

I tried to do what you suggested here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f239...pgrade-version-2-a-18220-post92971/#post92971
But this doesn't fixed the problem. At this point would be even okay for me if you can post me a custom rule to add to my htaccess file in order to automatically redirect the old urls to the new ones.

Hi Norman,

What happens if you go to the DBSEO CP and change the URL formats back to the old format?

 

[Norman]

Well, if i change back to old URLs they start to work as they did before:
Eg. 70 Immagini di Sfondo Magnifiche - Klayz Community (with old URL)

 

[Fillip H.]

In that case, the most obvious solution would be to leave the URL formats as is.

If you still want to change the URL formats, try changing them again now. Maybe the old version had an issue with the URL history feature

 

[Norman]

I tried changing it one more time using the custom field as f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]/, but if i set it like this then all the old URLs get a 404 error. And I can't accept this. I would love to have the new URLs, sincerely...
Is there a way to add a custom rule to the htaccess file just to transform site.com/ID-discussion-title.html to f[forum_id]/[thread_title]-[thread_id]/?

 

[Fillip H.]

You can try adding the following to the Custom 301 Redirects setting in the DBSEO CP:

'(\d+)-(.+)\.html' => 'showthread.php?t=$1'

and see if that works.

This particular situation is a bit outside our normal support service, so if it doesn't work then you may need to ask your server administrator for help with the .htaccess rule.

 

[Norman]

If I add that code, the old URLs are affected but the redirection is going here: Klayz Community so nothing is showed.

If you can help me here you will make me a big favour, Fillip. Unfortunately without this feature working I would have to reconsider the plugin... and maybe ask you for a refund. Please understand me, as I bought it mostly in order to be able to change the threads URLs... but if I have to set them as they were before then...

 

[Fillip H.]

If you PM me with an AdminCP account I may be able to look into it, however I can't guarantee anything unfortunately.

 

[Norman]

PM Sent. Is there any news, Fillip H.?

 

[Fillip H.]

I'll post back when I have more information or respond to the PM if I need more information

 

[Norman]

Okay! Thanks!

 

[Norman]

Strange thing: on a thread I have this link:

http://www.klayz.com/community/f2/cercasi-collaboratori-per-klayz-com-2373/p7378/#post7378

If you click on it, it redirects here:

Cercasi collaboratori per Klayz.com! - Klayz Community
(with a different URL)

 

[Fillip H.]

That's working as intended, the URL you posted is a Show Post URL. This redirects to the canonical URL for the post for the viewing user.

 

[Fillip H.]

Also, just to confirm, are you happy with the way the URLs are looking just now or are you still looking to have them changed?

 

[Norman]

I was thinking to recreate this URL structure:

Example:

Guest Authentication | Gaia Online
for forums

Guest Authentication | Gaia Online
for threads

Then for pages, something like f.23/2/
and 7.99340489/2/

But the problem is that if I change them now, I'll lose al the indexed .html URLs. Like this:

Quale Antivirus utilizzate? - Klayz Community

 

[Fillip H.]

I'll look into this @ your site later today, and send you a PM if I need any further information

 

[Norman]

Thanks

 

[Fillip H.]

I can see the issue in action on your site. Can you please also PM me with an FTP account?
