I tried this: Customize > Permalinks # I tried to redirect from # https://mydomain.com/t/test/1234 # to https://mydomain.com/t/test2/5678 # So I created in Customize > Permalinks # URL: /t/test/1234 # Type: topic id # Value: 5678 But topic_1234 is not redirected to topic_5678

Sorry for the confusion. Closing the topic won’t automatically redirect users to the new topic. What it does is prevent further replies to the old topic. The suggestion was to manually add a note to the closed topic, providing a link to the new topic. This way, anyone who visits the old topic will see the note and can follow the link to the new topic. Here’s an example of what you might write in /t/test/1234: “This topic is now closed. Please continue the discussion here - https://mydomain.com/t/test2/5678.”

In Discourse, permalinks are typically used to redirect from an old URL to a new one when migrating from another platform. They’re not typically used to redirect between topics within Discourse itself. If you want to redirect users from one topic to another within Discourse, the best way to do this is to close the original topic and leave a note with a link to the new topic. This way, users who visit the original topic will see the note and can click the link to visit the new topic. [image] Permalinks within Discourse Support I don’t believe it’s possible to redirect a topic to another topic with a permalink. You’d end up with a topic that exists but is inaccessible (because visiting it redirects you). What you could do instead is close the original topic and make the last reply a link to the new one. Or if you want to hide the original topic entirely you could archive it.

Is there anyway to write a RewriteRule? RewriteEngine on # RewriteRule (something here)

You can use permalinks to redirect one topic to another :+1: Just make sure the old topic is in a public category, is deleted, and that you’re using an account to access it which doesn’t also have access to see deleted topics (so non-admin/mod or tl4 if you have tl4 delete posts and topics enabled).

Could I redirect a post to other post?

It still did not redirect after I closed the old topic (/t/test/1234).
