I did a search and was unable to find it...

Is there a plugin in existance, that will redirect any URL within an existing forum...to a specific URL?

With the intent of moving forums overlall.

So in my case... bringit2u.com/forum/ANYTHING HERE will redirect to

Fieldchatter.com/forum

Appreciate the insight!
Its not a feature in mybb. Try a .htaccess redirection (you can google it)
/Moved to Web Dev and Admin as its more appropriate here Smile

Ok, thanks...will .htaccess redirect cover all urls with that root domain?
Assuming it's the same domain, I think something like this works.


RewriteRule (.*) /newdirectory/$1 [R=301]
in .htaccess file on old domain, add

RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}   ^www.olddomain.com$   [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$   http://www.newdomain.com/$1   [R=301,L]

assuming the structure of the two domains is identical it will work with just this
Oh geez. I didn't read all of the original post.

Structure needs to be bringit2u.com/forum/ so should it then be??:

RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}   ^www.bringit2u.com/forum/$   [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$   http://www.fieldchatter.com/forum/$1   [R=301,L]

Placed in the /forum directory .htaccess of bringit2u?
that is why I said "if the structure is the same" then you can just use

RewriteCond   %{HTTP_HOST}   ^www.bringit2u.com$   [NC]
RewriteRule   ^(.*)$   http://www.fieldchatter.com/$1   [R=301,L]

this will cover all of the folders and files automatically.

What if i want to leave bringit2u.com/blog alone?
