How to Use a Redirect Script for Dolphin

If you use BoonEx's Dolphin to manage your community website, you can redirect visitors from one page to a different page. For example, if you make a custom homepage, you can redirect visitors who type your URL into their browser to your custom page. Dolphin requires an Apache server, so you do not set up redirects in Dolphin itself. Instead, you use Apache's .htaccess file.

Instructions

    • 1

      Connect to your website via an FTP client or a file-management system provided by your Web hosting provider. Open the .htaccess file located in you site's root directory. If you do not see the file, create a new text file with that name and no file extension.

      Type "Redirect 301 / http://newpage.com."

      Replace "http://newpage.com" with the complete URL to which you want to redirect. You must type "http://" before "newpage.com."

      Save and close the file. The redirect will work immediately.
