Question Moved forum to Folder Need Redirect Help

[Ryan Persad]

Good day, I placed my live forum into a folder /forum i would like to know how to redirect all the existing links that google has indexed to be redirected to the links with the new forum location eg. https://www.somesite.com/forum/egofcategory
Also all sections and threads, to be directed to /forum

Thanks.

This is not easy to do, especially considering you will want to avoid redirecting whatever valid URLs you have in the new front-end.

To be honest, I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Would it be possible for you to ask the guys over at vBulletin Services, vBulletin Setup, vBulletin SEO | Professional vBulletin SEO Services for further assistance? They have experience with these sort of scenarios, whereas I do not. I wish I could be of more help
