I am not being taken to homepage on getting page not found error

Hi

I recently changed my forum directory name from /sikhphilosophy/ to /sikhism/

There is an opion in vbseo which redirects all page not found errors for homepage, but if you click the following page, i am shown the broken link error.

http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikhphilosophy/anand-sahib/2448-anand-sahib-pauri-29-guru-granth-sahib.html

Now, this link is something like this:

http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/sikhsim/anand-sahib/2448-anand-sahib-pauri-29-guru-granth-sahib.html

Am i doing something wrong here. Please guide.

Hurry!!

You would need to add a 404 redirection to the .htaccess in the root of your site since your forum directory changed. vbSEO only handles 404s under the forum directory.

This should do it:

ErrorDocument 404 /sikhsim

hey thanks
what if i shift my forum to http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/ ie. root. What would i need to do. Thanks

ErrorDocument 404 /sikhsim

The above syntax did not work: :(

Hi Aman,

vBSEO handles the request to the forums root folder and below. So, if you will move forums to root, old URLs should be processed by vBSEO.

However, it is better for you to setup a 301-redirection for all requests in old folder (sikhphilosophy/) to the new one instead of sending 404 error.
