If i had a sub domain name and site, and the subdomain had an independent admin section. suppose i move that sub domain to a new domain name, functioning same way as the sub domain was. If i want to change the site name of the sub-domain to the name of the new domain name, where is one supposed to change the name from???

Hi mwathani

Normally if you want to move a site you can just do a 301 redirect with your .htaccess file.

That will work fine moving from a sub-domain to the new domain name.

Are you not sure how to do a 301 redirect or am I missing something else?

yes, i want to know how to do that.
ALso, i would like to know how to ensure that its only the sub-domain files that get to move to the new domain site only.
kindly guide, i am still abit stuck here.

regards.

Hi MW,

In the .htaccess file of your old subdomain, you'd have to put the following code:
Replace "yournewdomain.com" with your actual domain.

By placing the above code within the .htaccess file of your old subdomain, it also ensures that only your old subdomain links are redirected to your new domain.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick
