I made a dumb mistake and had event announcement cards printed with an incorrect URL (it was a placeholder that I forgot to fix). So on the card is a URL like this: www.mysite.com/event (note that I even managed to leave off the .html otherwise I could move the page. and it should point to www.mysite.com/mygallery/event.html Any tricks that I can use to redirect when a person types in just "www.mysite.com/event" and it goes to the correct page www.mysite.com/mygallery/event.html ? What can I add but "Doh!" Thanks. |

If you're using the EverWeb Hosting Service you can set a 404 not page found in your publishing settings. When a user goes to a non existing page on your site you can specify a page that they should be redirected to. Select your web page name in the upper left corner of the EverWeb window and scroll to the bottom of the publishing settings to set the 404 page. Then republish your site. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

You could treat "event" like a directory. Create a new directory named "event" and add the 404 to it or use the meta refresh code shown on this page to create the redirect. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

| Thank you both. Creating the event as a directory and using the meta refresh works great. You saved me! | |
