I expect that most of you have now had some experience with migrating from 1.0 to 1.5. I pretty much got my head around it now and it doesn't cause any problems. However I'm still a little confused about the change in URLs. The reason it took me so long to migrate is because I was worried that my new 1.5 site would disappear off the map. However that does not seem to be the case. The old 1.0 URLs still send traffic to your new 1.5 site. For instance, this is the old URL (
www.brixhamace.org/content/view/25/56/
) from a 1.0 sites, I migrated yesterday and this is the same page but you can see the difference in URLs ( www.brixhamace.org/classes/swimming ) Website is still very much unfinished
Now the old URL still comes up on the search engines. When you click on it, it is still showing in the URL address bar. Will all these old URLs eventually disappear and be replaced by the new ones?
If you follow this old URL that still comes up on the search engines, you arrive at my website without any problems. The old URL is showing in the address bar and the page is perfectly okay. If you click on the link on that page only the address changes. But you may have noticed that when you arrive at the website using the old URL, two-page titles are visible. . I don't think there's anything that can be done about this, is anybody else having this issue?
www.tetraplegicliving.com/content/view/28/56/ (old 1.0 URL)

The 301 redirect looks absolutely perfectand Gator makes it easy for you to set these up. Basically you choose your domain, paste in the old URL and then the URL you want to redirect to.
I've set up but it's not working, does it take time before the changes become apparent?
I'm assuming that this works so that once you click on the old URL in Google for instance, it automatically redirects you to the new URL? - http://www.Oscarfishlover.com - the website for great Oscar Fish advice and help

Actually the code was being put at the bottom of my.htaccess, I just had to move it and everything is working fine now.
One of my pages has a strange URL and is not redirecting properly. In fact if we go through the same procedure, the page is not recognised.
These are two pages that are redirecting. The first one works, the second one doesn't. Have a look at the structure of the URL.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tetraplegicliving.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tetraplegicliving.com$
RewriteRule ^content\/view\/39\/76\/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.tetraplegicliving\.com\/jokes\/" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tetraplegicliving.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tetraplegicliving.com$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.tetraplegicliving\.com\/wheelchair\-angling\-my\-hobbies\/carp\-fishing" [R=301,L]
This is the actual URL of the original page. Some of it is being chopped off when I am entering into the redirect system in host Gator. The URL seems to resemble a URL before such engine friendly URLs as being activated in global configuration. Not sure why it's doing this

I have got SH404SEF installed on a 1.015 website. I have also got search engine friendly URLs enable which would resemble this URL(above). I did a little bit of testing by turning off SH 404SEF. The URLs showing up on Google had the SH 404SEF structure, i.e. category and section in the URL. When I turned sh 404 sef off, I still arrived at the correct page. Do you know if sh 404sef radically changes the URL or if removing it and reverting back to search engine friendly URLs makes no difference on the search engines? - http://www.Oscarfishlover.com - the website for great Oscar Fish advice and help

I dont use sh404sef sorry, it is beta for j1.5 and last time I checked they had only revived development work again.
From what little knowledge I have is that I think SH404 strips away the article/menu id number from the url.
Someone who uses it might be better at answering your question, I use the standard sef rewriting with joomla.
I have heard good things about ArtioSEF though

- I see no need for this type of component on 1.5. My URLs are great just as they are.
