Hi there

When I delete a forum and move its topics to another forum:
The old URL sends HTTP response 302 (temporary redirection) and redirects to the new forum URL.

However, for the SEO purpose, this should be 301 (permanent redirection) redirection.

Is this something you can fix, or can I make a quick change somewhere to get this done, please?

Thank you.

Hi @mplusplus,

The old URL sends HTTP response 302 (temporary redirection) and redirects to the new forum URL.

The wpForo does not have the 302 redirections. Currently when you delete a forum and move its topics to another forum, both URL's available, the new one and the old one.

However, for the SEO purpose, this should be 301 (permanent redirection) redirection.

However, in the next version update, it will be redirected to the 301 pages, for SEO purposes.
