Hi, we are using Discourse as KnowledgeBase. As articles evolve we frequently merge some tickets. But obviously links from other articles exists to both articles. Is there a way to redirect from one article to another? I mean, yes of course I can simply create the link as content of the old ticket linking to the new one but I am thinking of an autmated redirect (invisble for users) Is it possible? /KNEBB

Hi! check out your admin page at yoursite/admin/customize/permalinks It should do just what you want (we love it) [2019-04-04_16-32-20]

Ok guys, got it so far. I am on the page you told me. But looks like I am too dumb to use it. Again, I have an thread with the following URL: https://help.domain.com/t/old-thread-title/6418 It has outdated content on it and I want it to link to a newer thread with URL: https://help.domain.com/t/new-thread-title/11345 So I enterd in the admin’s permalink site on the left the first URl from above and entered the thread-ID of 11345 in the second field. Trying to access the URL still shows old contend. Tried with a second browser where I am not logged in and did a “Reload” as well. Still old content. Any ideas? Thanks! /KNEBB

[תמונה] codinghorror: Did we clarify the UI here @techAPJ so people don’t think this can be used to redirect one Discourse topic to another? Did I get it right now? I can not use this feature to redirect from “inside” Discourse? Well, this explains why it is not working. In this case back to my original question: I have a topic which is outdated. I need to replace. I have a new article which replaces the old one. There are several links in the forum to the old article. I want these (internal) links now to point to the new article. Is this possible? Note: Yes, I can edit the old thread and just place a link to the new one there… but that’s not really nice… Thanks again! /KNEBB

[תמונה] knebb: I want these (internal) links now to point to the new article. Then you should probably use Replace a string in all posts to change those links.

But then the old article can still be accessed by people who use their local browser bookmarks. Still, not a really usable solution. Further ideas? Honestly, I am surprise this appearing to be so complicated. Am I really the only one needing such thing? Thanks /KNEBB
