keep existing page extensions

Post by electrifire »

My current website has sections coded in php so the extensions are .php, once Im finished porting it into cmsms I will no longer need the php but if I lose the .php extension I'll loose the rankings in the search engines, what are my options here?

depending on your server OS and software, you can enable pretty URLs and use whatever extension you want, or no extension at all

#Extension to use if you're using mod_rewrite for pretty URLs.
$config['page_extension'] = '';

301 redirect can also be used.

In the modules section, click on "Help" and "About" for that module.
