After moving my Discourse forum to a new instance and URL, I need help with setting up domain redirection. I want links from the old domain to redirect to the new domain. For example, a link like https://olddomain.com/t/topic/89520 should redirect to Parked at Loopia . I’ve heard about using a 301 …

Here is the method I use for a full redirection after a domain change, I mixed a few solutions offered in this forum. in the app.yml, at the end I add the after_web_config and after_ssl blocks : hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - git clone https://g…
