Redirecting an entire site

Hi Brett. Here’s an article on how to do it using your .htaccess file:

bdbrown,

Thanks for the link but I tried it and it didn’t work. It’s set up for a sub-domain, not a directory within the same domain.

Besides, I am always suspicious of guides that are on pages that are not spelled correctly or have bad grammar. Seems there needs to be an eye for perfection in writing code that should transfer into the text on the page.

Please let me know if you know of any other possible solution.

If your host provides cPanel maybe this will help:

DUH!

Thanks, I totally forgot about that tool in Cpanel. Oddly enough it works for all pages except the home page. No worries, I can get that one with the redirects plugin. Thanks!

Damn,

Didn’t check the WooCommerce pages. Unfortunately it does not work there. So close!

So, the user ends up on the correct home page but, when they try to go to a WC page, they end up back on the subdomain? I found this but don’t know if it will help:

Ok so here is the rub. I am trying to make this redirect a permanent one that Google will see. All of the current methods for redirecting all links and pages on the site are not showing up as redirected in the search console and they do not seem to work 100% of the time when visiting the pages. Frustrating.

Still looking for a way to do this that Google is happy with.

Thanks
Brett
