Redirect

[aris]

You may want to do a 301 redirect from

https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/forum.php

To

http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/index.php

Some may have it bookmarked and the former says “file not found”

Yes, that's a good suggestion. I combined forwarding http: to https: (it sees the two as different) and /forum.php to just /.

Normally for the 1st day or so after moving a site, it is worth reviewing error logs, particularly for 404's to see what are the most common old links that people are still trying to access and get those redirected to somewhere sensible.

Also if the site has an account with Google, then they support the concept of a preferred domain (whether to include "www" or not), which might be worth looking into when you're not busy.
