Site Builder to SiteWorks Redirection
It is likely that many people will know and use your Site Builder URL for your
Home page but also for your other pages such as individual group pages. Those
people will still use those URLs until they become aware that the website
address has changed and they update their favourites list.
When you migrate all of your Site Builder pages migrate with you. You can
change content but as long as you don’t delete or replace the page then a
redirect can be set up to go from, say, your Site Builder French language group
page to your SiteWorks French language group page. Thus someone who tries to
get to the French Language group page after your Site Builder redirection will
automatically be taken to the equivalent SiteWorks page instead.
This is not the case if you opt for a Starter site. You are not migrating pages so
there are no pages to redirect from/to. What can be set up is a site redirection
from your Site Builder home page to your SiteWorks home page.
On your SiteWorks site you have a ‘404 Page not found’ template that you can
use as is or customise for your site. The default 404 page with the u3a
SiteWorks theme looks like this.
Most u3as will not need to do anything special. However if a u3a wishes to
customise this page they just need to use the Editor to alter the supplied "Page:
404" template.
