MyBB Community Forums

So, I used to run my site as a wordpress blog, which I used for posting informative articles. However, recently my desire to try again and build a community again drove me to make a new forum. However, during the move, I moved the articles to special archive area so that the searchable articles could still be found.

However, in google the links are still the old wordpress links. I could simply wait, but I was wondering...

When clicking on the link, it takes you to the main index of the forum. Is there anyway to simply put

Quote:If the person comes from http://website.com/?p=111 then redirect the user to http://website.com/showthread?tid=111

Thanks for the help in advance.

You can just do that yourself with .htaccess I guess, someone else will be able to help you.

Thanks, I guess for the response. Hopefully, someone will reply on how to actually do it...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^?p=/([0-9]+)$ showthread.php?tid=$1

That should do the trick.

Now, Will I somehow need to change those topic ID's to those?

I don't excatly have Article 111's Thread being ID 111, is there anyway to make like Article 111 be like Topic 7 and like Article 323 be like Topic 8?
