301 URL tracker works when it likes #189

Hi there,

Using Umbraco v7.8.1

capture

Old url: https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/about-us/our-alumni/for-alumni/support-us/our-priorities/david-cesarani-kobler-scholarship-fund/

Redirect url: https://intranet.royalholloway.ac.uk/giving/davidcesaranischolarshipfund.aspx

Doesn't work! This has happened before with other urls but then they just start working out of the blue or don't at all.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

What version of the URL Tracker are you running? Forced Redirects were broken in 3.14

Also, is the old URL absolute or relative? I can't remember if it makes a difference 🤔

MohsenRHUL commented 6 years ago

How can I check the url tracker version?

I'm not sure if they are absolute or relative - is there a way to check?

MohsenRHUL commented 6 years ago

I've found where the installed packages are on Umbraco and I do not see 301 url tracker as an installed package - how funny it is that I can see it in my home screen...

daniel-chenery commented 6 years ago

An absolute URL would be http://www.example.com/about-us. A relative URL is /about-us

It's likely installed via NuGet if you don't see it in the Umbraco Backoffice.

In VS go to Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution. Hopefully you'll be able to find it in that list.

Hi there, it's not there either.

Wondering if I should just install it and see what happens...

It shouldn't break anything. Just make sure you have a backup in case :)
