No 301 redirect from bbPress or other forums?
-
Just spotted this in a support request reply from your support site:
“I’m really sorry but we don’t have internal link redirection solution. You should find some developer to do a custom codding. The code should scan all wpForo posts, find bbPress URLs and replace to wpForo URLs.
”This is a deal breaker. Please realize that people with large forums trying to migrate to your solutions will NOT do this, because it would immediately cause the loss of all their GOOGLE search traffic.
This would absolutely destroy their search rankings for those thousands of posts they spent years and years building, that the internet has linked to.
I cannot underestimate how important this is to a forum owner.
I would lose most of my revenue within a week as Google delisted me for 300,000 pages of MISSING content.A migration tool is worthless if there is no way to tell google with a 301 that the content has MOVED to a proper place so we dont get de-indexed by Google and all the other search engines. ??
I would strongly suggest providing built in support for 301 re-direct for all the major forums, or you are seriously shooting yourself in the foot.
wpForo can only be used by brand new forums or people willing to do development work or hire developers for a hack that they have to support by themselves forever.
