biruvia Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Site URL: http://www.biruvia.com Hello, I have what I thought should be a fairly easy task, but I can't find anything in the forwarding/pointing/redirecting articles in square space that covers this specifically. Here is what I'd like to do: Point/Forward/Redirect "swamimosa.com" to "biruvia.com/swamimosa" Both domains are managed through Squarespace and the website "biruvia.com" is hosted through Squarespace. I've gone into advanced settings for "swamimosa.com" and followed the instructions for adding a preset for "Forward Domain." I then add the URL "biruvia.com/swamimosa", but the website doesn't forward. If I set the Forward Domain from "swamimosa.com" to "biruvia.com" it does work, but I want to forward to a subdomain instead of a domain. How can I do this? Thanks! Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Subdomains are usually assigned to pages, and if you want to forward (redirect) one of them, then that page has to be inactive, and it can be forwarded to somewhere else. Here is the info on how to do it: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205815308-URL-redirects Edited July 14, 2020 by derricksrandomviews Link to comment
biruvia Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thank you for the reply Derrick. That example shows how to point a page/subdomain to another page/subdomain. However, what I'm looking to do is point the entire domain to a page/subdomain of another site. All are managed or hosted on Squarespace. The domain I am pointing/redirecting from is just a domain and not a website. This is what I'm looking for in effect: www.websiteone.com ----> www.websitetwo.com/one Is this possible? Link to comment

You can add this code to Home > Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > Footer <script> setTimeout(function(){ window.location.href = 'https://beaverhero.com'; }, 1000); </script> replace beaverhero with new site url Email me if you have need any help (free, of course.).

Actually the instructions above do include how to forward from one domain to another: Oher domains Use a 301 redirect if you have a URL on your site that you want to lead to another domain. Example, you had a page with the URL https://mybusiness.com/fundraiser that featured information about a fundraiser, but now you want the URL to link visitors directly to an external domain. Follow these steps: In URL Mappings, create a redirect from /fundraiser to the external domain. Delete or disable the /fundraiser page in your site. The redirect looks like this example: /fundraiser -> https://fundraiser.com/very-special-fundraiser 301 replace with whatever domain you want. Link to comment
