Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Ok thank you! Unfortunately there are LOTS of .html files within this folder, is there a way to just switch the folder name and not each individual file?

I have a folder in my site that I want to rename. I don’t want to just rewrite the URL and keep my old folder name, I want to change the folder name and then do whatever is necessary with .hataccess to not lose search engine rankings. The folder name I want to change has a space in it and also is misspelled (whoops x2)

Example.

Mysite.com/old foldr/page.html

Mysite.com/newfolder/page.html

How would I go about doing this with .htaccess?  Do I just switch the folder name on my server and then set up a redirect, or do I do a rewrite?  Sorry now familiar with the terms or .htacces.

Thanks all

Hmm interesting, now that you mention it. This issue isn't happening for me in Safari, IE or Firefox but it is happening in Chrome.

I have not, I don't do much with .htacccess and when I've tried it hasn't worked hah. Not sure how I would go about doing that.

I just realized many of the links on my site are BROKEN when entered from a Google SERP. This didn’t used to be this way. I have no idea what’s going but I’m worried.

It involves a folder of our site that has a space in it. Google is even displaying the proper “%20” in the SERP but when I click the link it replaces that “%20” with a + which breaks the link!!

You can see this in action by typing in “brown jordan sheffield furniture” without quotes into Google. You’ll see our site come up first and displaying this link sheffieldfurniture.com/Other%20Furniture/BrownJordan.html but when you click it the link is broken!

This is happening on many of our pages! Anyone know what in the world is going on?

why wouldn't you put in root and why no subdomain?

We aren't planning on doing a subdomain. We're planning on using two different domains with Multistore

I've found every shopping cart software I've touched to be a nightmare. What's your preference?

What do you mean by Add on domain?

Ok! Yeah I did but he told me that since we are using Multistore across two different domains (not subdomains) that it had to be in the root. It seemed weird to me, I'm trying to figure out if that's the case or not.

The opencart directory (index.php) wouldn't redirect just our home page which is index.html

If i were to 301 redirect the index page of my website to a page in a different subdirectory of my site would that adversely affect SEO?

Does your home page need to be in the root of your site?

I'm asking because a developer has told me that it would be best to do that since he needs to install OpenCart on the root of our domain...

Title says it all, is this an issue? The pages seem to be set up properly with Rel=Canonical so should i just ignore the duplicate page title erros in my Crawl Diagnostics dashboard? Thanks

I've read mixed results about the SEO benefit of having Google+ for your company.

I'm sure that a very small % of my sites user base has Google+ so if we did implement Google+ into our site I don't think we would really have anyone following us...or in our circle or whatever they call it.

So are you guys using Google+ for your business and if so, do you think it's worth it for me to if I know barely any of my users have Google+?

Google really seems to be trying to plush Google+ for business, with replacing Google places with Google+ Business and requiring people to log into Google+ to rate businesses.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
