Redirect not SEO Friendly, need help

  • According to this checker, thefullpint.com ‘s redirect is not SEO friendly.
    https://www.webconfs.com/redirect-check.php

    The redirect is in the root of my site, in index.html, and looks like this…

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= https://thefullpint.com/main" /></head><body></body></html>

    With that in mind, which method do I use for redirect. This website has a PHP method and a .htaccess method.

    Alright, it worked, except killing my logo banner. How do I fix that one?

    Because it is NOT where it’s supposed to be!
    This:
    <img src="img/logo.gif" is a bad way to use relative path: without a leading slash it will ALWAYS calculate the path from the page you are on… e.g.
    example.com/subfolder/subfolder/subfolder/img/logo.gif

    In your header.php file look for this
    <img width="800" height="68" border="0" src="img/logo.gif"/>
    Change to this
    <img width="800" height="68" border="0" src="/main/img/logo.gif"/>

    Tied again ??

    Wooo hooo.

    Moshu..I’m looking your way…

    Can I change the permalink structure?

    OK, I am glad you made it ??

    From now on you can administer your site as if it was a “normal” setup, don’t worry about it. You can do whatever is possible and permitted on your server.
    E.g. for permalinks you need mod_rewrite enabled on an Apache server.
    Also, don’t forget the tutorial: you need the .htaccess file both in the root and in your WP subfolder!

    Cool.

    With godaddy, will I be able to do the apache mod_rewrite?

    If your hosting plan is an apache server, most likely.

    ok
    I’ll look into that.

    godaddy lets you use it, but you have to wait up to an hour after uploading a new htaccess for their server cache to find it. Once it’s found it the first time, it will notice changes to the file immediately from then on.

    I guess Im a bit of a tard, but I can’t where or how to do this said mod_rewrite.

    YOU don’t do it. It is either set up on the server by your host – or it isn’t. Period. No choices there.

    Obviously, according to adam’s post above – it is installed on goddaddy, so just read his post… set your permalinks, update the htaccess file(s) and wait patiently ??

    K…so I go back to the tutorial, find the snipet to put in my .htaccess…and copy it to my main folder as well?

    Better, make them writable (chmod/permissions 666) and let WP write it.
