Question Redirect from root url to third level url

[cionfs]

Hi,
I need to migrate my forum from the root to the third level.

Esample:

Root-> www.mysite.ext
Third level-> forum.mysite.ext

I don't want to move directly. I want to use Impex for this migration.

There is a solution for redirect all the all urls to the new urls? I think that the forum, thread and post IDs will change.

How can I do this with DBSeo?

Regards

Why would you want to do that instead of simply moving your forum's files and setting up a 301 redirect?

I've a little problem with my forum (sometime the products are deactivated automatically on their own).

Right okay, well DBSEO won't be able to help you with this, you'll need a .htaccess file in the old location that does a blanket redirect to the new domain.

Why isn't possible?

If I have the old url

Example

Old URL https://www.oldurlext/forum/thread-title-vt29194.html

where 29194 is the old ID

New URL https://forum.sitename.ext/thread-title-vt64523.html

where 64523 is the new 3D ID

Can't I, with DBSeo, redirect the old ID to the new ID?

No, that cannot be done and is why you should under no circumstances use ImpEx to move your forum. There is no way for DBSEO to tell what the old thread ID was.

If you use ImpEx on your forum, you will lose 100% of the search engine rank you have built up and you will need to start from scratch. It will most likely take a very long time for your rank to properly recover, as old links not only on search engines but on other forums will no longer function.
