The site was built using Professional 12.

Please advise the procedure.

Thank you

Hello Paul,

There are various ways in which to accomplish this, but by far the most efficient (in terms of site overhead) is to use some lines in an .htaccess file on your server.

Please have a look at the following thread where I discuss with another user a couple of methods, one using PHP and the other using the .htaccess file:

If you need further help please don't hesitate to ask for it.

Please also be aware that what you are trying to do involves the use of custom code.  It's not a native WebSite X5 feature.

Kind regards,

Paul

Thanks Paul, I contacted the web host and they will do it there using the .htaccess file.

Warm regards,
