How does SEO respond when all contents of a board are moved to a new board?

What happens when creating a new board/category and contents of an existing board are moved to the new ones with new ids? And the old boards/categories are deleted. Will search land in the new board? I doubt cuz the URL is changed. Can someone please assist how to resolve this issue? 

 

Thanks

  • Inactive User- If you move all the topics, ideas etc to new board, the old URL for the topics,ideas,blogs will be redirect to new one without creating any issue. However, the URL for the boards and categories still land you to the old one.

     

    To resolve this issue, you need to add page redirect in STUDIO - PAGE INITIALIZATION tab.

    ${http.response.setRedirectUrl("url")}
    is the context object which is used to redirect .

    Find the documentation https://freemarker-docs-portal.lithium.com/refer/contextObjects.

      Thanks for the info. And one of our main concern is what impact does it has on SEO ranking in google directly when deleting categories and boards and moving posts? We want to avoid that we drop in the search ranking, even temporarily. Any advice or help is highly appreciated!

        Inactive User -   You shouldn't delete any categories and boards as it will impact on the ranking. My suggestion is just add the redirect to the new categories and boards from the old categories. Hope this will help you.
