I’ve built a simple bootstrap site, deployed form git. Hand tooled, so not using anything like Jekyll, hugo etc. Kindcare Cornwall - Homecare in Helston, Porthleven and West Cornwall - CQC... Find caring and compassionate home care in Helston, Porthleven and West Cornwall with a CQC re…

Hey @rossjones and welcome to the forum :wave: A few changes to make: remove the .txt extension from your _redirects file, so just _redirects and then the rule itself is close, but should instead be: /* https://www.kindcarecornwall.co.uk/:splat 301! And one thing to check: you mentioned that …

Thanks @jen Those changes got the build to recognise the redirects! :sunglasses: But if I put the URL in it doesn’t redirect to the custom domain. :crying_cat_face: The directory structure is pretty basic and the redirects file is in the same folder as the index. I dug into the docs, but can’t fi…

Alright, makin progress! Here are the docs on the netlify.toml: [image] File-based configuration Use a netlify.toml configuration file to specify how the platform builds and deploys your project. This would be called netlify.toml and would go in your director…

So this is for anyone who’s a bit green like me and wants to get this set up. Having multiple domains runs the risk of Google penalising your site for duplicate content. For some this isn’t an issue, but if you’re looking at getting ranked, it’s important you add a redirect to your pre-assigned net…

Those two files can and will “fight” - so you should just use the one, @rossjones ! The reason your _redirects file did not work right is because your syntax was wrong: https://dazzling-lovelace-dfccb9.netlify.app/* /* https://www.kindcarecornwall.co.uk/:splat 301! has an extra “/*” in the middle …

@fool @jen - Your support has been par excellence :100: I misunderstood @jen original instruction! Just in case anyone stumbles across this thread, your redirect playground really helps https://play.netlify.com/redirects Removing _redirects and adding the catchall redirect to the .toml file crea…

Hey @rossjones :wave:t2: I was going to add a thought or two to the mix here because you said So I’ve added the original domain for the time being until I figure out what’s happening. Which made me think that your issue is unresolved, but upon poking at your site, it appears your redirect from …

Thanks for reaching out @jonsully . It’s working but only on that domain. So if you went to KindCare - Homecare in Helston and the surrounding areas | Our Care Services it won’t redirect. That’s because my .toml file reads [[redirects]] from = "https://dazzling-lovelace-dfccb9.netlify.app/" t…

Yep! Fully agree with @Scott :grin: the /* vs. https://something.something.tld/* as the ‘from’ is a major difference! That code above should totally do it for you :+1:t2: – Jon

@jonsully @Scott :bowing_man: :tada:

[[redirects]]
  from = "https://dazzling-lovelace-dfccb9.netlify.app/*"
  to = "https://www.kindcarecornwall.co.uk/:splat"
  status = 301
  force = true

Try that on for size Note the /* and /:splat which are explained here:
