Hi Creedon,

Both domains are in 123-reg.co.uk
Both Websites are in SS

Thanks again 🙂

Hi Creedon, OMG, yes I mean can't. SO is there a work-around to keep Google Search Console Happy?

Thanks 🙂

We're trying to use Google 'Change of Address' system in Search Console.
(A company name change forced a new website update) Both sites (OLD/NEW) are in Squarespace.

Search Console is asking for a 301 redirect from the OLD site Homepage! I've tried a few things in URL mappings, and reached out to Squarespace support, but they tell me you can't redirect a LIVE homepage!

Fingers crossed someone has found a solution to this... However, no one seems to be asking this question online anywhere. I can't be the first to hit this problem, can I?!

Thanks in advance, even if it's a lot of people telling me it's not possible. 🙂

Hi Creedon, An additional question based on the top topic, but slightly different to the questions that's been answered. We're trying to use Google 'Change of Address' system to ensure an new 'SS" website with a new domain, is going to get the traffic from an old 'SS' website with an old domain. Google has a tool to do this, however, it's asking for a 301 redirect from the OLD site Homepage! I've tried a few things in URL mappings, and reached out to support, but they tell me you can redirect a LIVE homepage! Frustrated and going round in circles... Fingers crossed. Thanks in advance.
