Hello Osclass Support Team,
I am changing my website domain from ownpetz.com to ownlisto.com, and I need your help configuring a proper permanent 301 redirect.
My goal is to redirect all old URLs to their corresponding URLs on the new domain, while preserving the URL paths and query parameters wherever applicable.
For example:
https://ownpetz.com/ →
https://ownlisto.com/https://ownpetz.com/category/pets →
https://ownlisto.com/category/petshttps://ownpetz.com/blog/ →
https://ownlisto.com/blog/https://ownpetz.com/listing/example-ad →
https://ownlisto.com/listing/example-adhttps://ownpetz.com/search?query=dogs →
https://ownlisto.com/search?query=dogsThese are examples; the actual URL structures on my website should be preserved.
Could you please guide me on the following?
1. How can I configure a site-wide 301 redirect from ownpetz.com to ownlisto.com so that every old URL redirects to its corresponding new URL?
2. Does Osclass require any specific changes to its configuration files, .htaccess file, or database when changing the domain?
3. How should I update the Osclass base URL and permalink settings to ensure that all links generated by the website use ownlisto.com?
4. How can I ensure that individual listings, categories, search results, pagination, images, and other internal URLs continue working correctly after the migration?
5. Is there any Osclass-specific procedure to prevent redirect loops, broken links, duplicate URLs, or SEO issues during the domain migration?
6. What steps should I follow to ensure that Google can transfer the existing SEO value and indexing signals from the old domain to the new domain?
My main requirement is that every existing URL on ownpetz.com should redirect with a single permanent 301 redirect to the equivalent URL on ownlisto.com, rather than redirecting every page to the new homepage.
Please provide the recommended configuration or step-by-step instructions for my Osclass installation.
Thank you for your assistance.
