Hi Janet, You could use an extension like sh404SEF and map all the individual links to the new pages.
However, as you mention, there will be many old pages that won't be republished. In that case, I would create a custom 404 page - error.php and use the search module. There is a good tutorial in Joomla docs that explains how to do this: http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page All best, Steve On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 4:21 PM, Janet Sullivan <jmsulliva...@yahoo.com>wrote: > I am putting up a brand new site on a domain > that has been around for a long time.
