Redirect old domain to brand new, different domain

[tamara]

What is the name of the domain?

coursescashflow.com

What is the error number?

None

What is the error message?

Your DNS configuration may not be proxying traffic for coursescashflow.com, which means requests may not match this rule.

What is the issue you’re encountering

Not sure if I’m doing this correctly

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I am looking to redirect all traffic from my old domain which is https://coursescashflow.com to my new domain https://coursescahflowgo.com but I am not sure how. Please let me know. I have put in the redirect rule inside Cloudflare and tested and it didn’t work but before the redirect, that messaged popped up. I am not sure how to make this work

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

just type in the main domain https://coursescashflow.com and it is NOT going to https://coursescahflowgo.com

You need a DNS record for the domain you are redirecting from and the dashboard is helping you to create one as you don’t have it. Use proxied AAAA 100:: if you are only redirecting.

Hi yes, I see that but it is asking for an IP address which I do not know how do get? What do I do from here?

Thanks for the assistance

@tamara

but it is asking for an IP address which I do not know how do get?

Select type AAAA
Enter IPv6 address 100::

Great thanks, one more question. I have my redirect set up this way with a 302 redirect as it is currently temporary. Can you please let me know if i did this properly?

I am essentially looking to redirect ALL https://coursescashflow.com and ALL OF ITS PATH to https://coursescashflowgo.com.

Is this correct?

That will work and forward all requests to the home page of the destination site. If you want to pass the path as well the destination URL should be https://coursescashflowgo.com/$1.

If you plan to leave this redirect then a 301 (permanent) is preferred for speed and SEO reasons.

Ok so I have tried to do as you have mentioned and came back with an error as seen attached so I have also included my DNS records to check as I am unsure how to make this redirect work properly.

So I have changed the destination URL to have the path $1 as you mentioned with the URL remaining the same with the * for the paths.

I have also tried to create a new proxied DNS record as you mentioned with the type being AAAA, name being coursescashflow and address being 100::

upon clicking, i get this error so i am stuck.

Here is my DNS records, hopefully this will help and you know where i messed up on:

What should I do to make all domain and paths with https://coursescashflow.com/ALL PATHS to redirect to https://coursescashflowgo.com?

Thanks

I am adding the remaining screenshots as it will not allow me to in one response so here they are along with the next one for reference.

[tamara]

this is my dns records in cloudflare

You are currently pointing this domain at Clickfunnels with a DNS record for coursescashflow.com. If you want to redirect this domain instead you’ll need to remove that record to add the proxied AAAA 100::.

Thank you for your assistance. This has done the trick! Most appreciated for the support!

Yes, you can easily set up a redirect from your old domain to a new one using a Page Rule or via a transform rule with forwarding URL on Cloudflare.
Just go to Rules > Page Rules (or Redirect Rules), and set the forwarding rule like:

If URL matches: *olddomain.com/*
Then forward to: https://newdomain.com/$2 (301 permanent redirect)

Make sure DNS is proxied through Cloudflare (orange cloud enabled). Let me know if you need a step-by-step.
