Thread: redirects

Hi,

I want to redirect my newest site >>> www.bubbeesbeads.COM *TO* my original site >>>www.bubbeesbeads.ORG
However when I click on redirect, the ORG site is always first
How do I make the .COM site first so that it goes to the .ORG site and the redirect accomplished?
Thx
Mindy

Hi, Mindy!

Just click on the little arrow on the edge of the input box and a drop menu will appear. Choose the one you want and then do the same with the other box.

Thanks Amanda, I'll give it a try :))

Hi again,

Following is what I see in the redirect box.



( Temporary Permanent)

Remove Redirect:


Current Redirects
Nothing happens when I click on the red arrows... Is there another place which you are referring to? Thx Mindy

Bubee,
let me see if i have understood well: you want the .com site to be redirected to the org one ? so if a visitor types in his browser www.bubbeesbeads.COM

he goes straight to www.bubbeesbeads.ORG ?

If yes, then you can either do it in your CP, OR, using this small trick:

How to Redirect & Cloak a url

Thanks Naval, However, I'm kinda thick..........which site do I post the blank page to? .com? .org? or both ??? Thx Mindy

in the .com index page

Hi NavalI followed instructions to the letter.......saved the blank page to the .com site (should I have saved it to .com/index.html???) and changed abc to the .org site...when i typed the .com site on the se (optonline) It brought up the .com page. as it did before.thx

The blank page must be saved as "index" and then published in your .com site

Hi Again,I did what you said, and totally lost the index.com page. Had to change everything again from the .org page to make it the .com page. Do you mean to put the insert onto the index.com page and not an empty page?

bubbee, it's the same. Either you make it a blank page, or a real page, since there is the redirect code, it will immediately redirct to the org. site. You must be doing something wrong. Please send me your IP address, username and password, i will fix it for you.

PLEASE, don't touch anything, YOU HAVE MADE it !!

I HAVE??? well waddayano! Thx Nav, altho I really can't believe it. I'm gonna check it out and if it works, gonna thro a party. Wanna come?
Martinis for all.........:)) Mindy

WHOOOPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it works!

Thank you sooooooo much. I have been struggling with this for over a week. You are an absolute doll Thanks again.

xoxo Mindy

I have a website in Blue Voda and need some help on redirect also. When I open the redirect and click on the arrow nothing happens. Our company purchased a domain name through Yahoo. I want that domain to redirect to my blue voda website.

You need to first have a domain to redirect, in your instance I believe you want to go to your yahoo dns server and point it to vodahost.
