CPharmacyScot Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hello... I am looking for a little guidance please. I am designing a new site within squarespace and I am migrating content from another squarespace site. The URL's will change. I send out a weekly newsletter and this will go today and our new site will launch on Monday. I would like our newsletter to link to our articles throughout next week and wondered what would be the best way to go about this? Do we do 301 redirects? If we Archive and unpublish the current site, how can I ensure my articles can still be accessed. The domain will remain the same but some URL's will be different. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Graham Link to comment

I wouldn't generally recommending changing URLs unless there is a good reason for doing so. However, if they do need to change, for example, products will inherit "/p/" as part of the URL on v7.1, then you can create redirects in the URL mappings panel. Did this help?

CPharmacyScot Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Thank you for the advice. Now here is where I ask a rather silly question. In which of the two sites should I add the redirect to? The new one or the old version? Link to comment
paul2009 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 It depends. Will the old site live on or are you moving the domain from the old site to the new site?
