I have moved to discourse (hosted on DigitalOcean) from vbulletin forum long back, however Google Search Console shows thousands of broken links of the following formats. member.php?xxxx-xxxx showthread.php?xxxx-xxxx/xxxx I want to redirect all queries having member.php and showthread.php to disc…

Are those links in forum posts or are they just stale and the next time Google crawls your site they’ll go away? If it’s the former, you could do a global replace in the database. If it’s the latter, you can wait, or add some redirects to the nginx config.

They are stale, I thought same. But its almost an year and still I see 50k broken links and increasing daily. Actually Google crawler comes to those links from external websites. I want to redirect example.com/member.php?anything-after-this example.com/showthread.php?anything-after-this example.…

I am guessing that they are all hitting your page not found error if so why not change the text of the page to something more fitting making them aware its an old link and recommending they link back to the forum. Customize / Text Content / page_not_found.title

Thanks all of you but I want to redirect example.com/member.php?anything-after-this example.com/showthread.php?anything-after-this example.com/tags.php?anything-after-this to example.com Can anyone help setting up this redirect in discourse hosted on digitalocean.
