Moving page urls with associated facebook likes
-
Hi,
Let me start with saying that there exists a site https://www.eaxmple.com and a page with link https://www.example.com/page1.
Current setup:
I had installed wordpress in the root folder.
I had a static home page and several other pages, one theme and few plugins. Just wanted to mention that I had used these two plugins in the pages,
a) Multiple Featured Images
b) Allow PHP in posts and pages,
though it might not be relevant to my question that I am going to ask. So in brief it is a very simply site with one simple but custom theme.Now after using this site for sometime I want to change the look and feel a bit. But want to keep the old site as is (without changing anything at all) as an archive. Lets say the old site can always be accessed in future by https://www.example.com/old, so the earlier URL of the page1 which was https://www.example.com/page1 now should be https://www.example.com/old/page1
Q1) What is the best way to do this?
One important point that I had a facebook like button in page1 (www.example.com/page1) . I used the following lines in the page.
<div class=”fb-like” data-href=”https://example.com/page1″ data-send=”true” data-layout=”button_count” data-width=”450″ data-show-faces=”false” data-font=”verdana” overflow=”visible”></div>
Q2) Please note that I want the likes that has already been made should remain associated with that page even after this move.
Want to make a note that after moving I might want to create a new page with the URL https://www.example.com/page1 but using a
new theme.So once I am done moving all the pages from https://www.example.com to https://www.example.com/old I want to create a page https://www.example.com/page1. So https://www.example.com/page1 is the current page and https://www.example.com/old/page1 is the old page and the facebook likes that are currently associated with https://www.example.com/page1 should then be associated to https://www.example.com/old/page1 and the new page https://www.example.com/page1 would start getting likes from zero.
May be I have asked a simple question is a complicated way. Any help is appreciated and feel free to ask me to rephrase this question if needed.
Thanking you as always.
