Change url from domain.com to www.domain.com?

Post by mBishop »

When I added my last batch of sites, I added them as just domain.com, but they're all configured for www.domain.com.

How can I change them? I don't want to have to delete them and re-add them, and some of them already have existing trades so I can't delete them.

Easiest way is to just add it properly as well, and then hide the other version. If there is lots of links wrong it gets a little more complicated. We need the other user to also change the link to reflect the change we make on those trades, or they get Incorrect Anchor/Not Found.

Feel free to hit me up or even pm here the info and I can look, but the tough part is existing trades, if I edit that url to add or remove www. it will bugger up all the existing trades (as they link to or on the old version, one being less of a deal).

I really don't care about fixing the current trades, I'm more concerned with new trades moving forward. I'm also anal amout some things and having sites listed twice in the system with the incorrect versions hidden just rubs me wrong...

Can you chage my urls without borking current trades?

Not really, as soon as I change those trades the spider will start looking for the version that we change to. On links pointing TO that domain, it's not an issue, on trades where the links are ON that site, but simplest way is to let me know what site, so I can look.

It may not be an issue at all, or it may be tougher, I can't really say not knowing the site and the trades involved.
