New Domain Name - Problem

[trainer]

We changed to a new domain name

is there a way to make all the "oldSiteName" automatically replace with "newSiteName" in all the old posts and any future posts

Thanks for the help

I believe you need to redirect from old domain to new domain. all you need is .htaccess little coding.

by the way, when you say "replace with new domain name", you mean like this:

old domain:

PHP Code:

old-domain.com/vb/topic1 


new domain:

PHP Code:

new-domain.com/vb/topic1 


and you don't mean Google indexing.....or do you???

sorry mean in old posts

when people post oldSiteName we want it to show up as NewSiteName

Actually did this on my forum today.

Here's the SQL:

Elite-Source being the old name.
GeneralBB being the new name.

UPDATE post SET pagetext = replace(pagetext, 'Elite-Source', 'GeneralBB')
