Reduced schedule during conference and annual break

We'll be operating with a reduced schedule from tomorrow and the next few weeks, as follows:

We'll be travelling and attending JoomlaDay USA from Tuesday April 22 to Friday April 25. Support will have extended response time during this period. From April 25 evening to Tuesday May 12 included, support will be closed for our annual break.

Don't forget to look up the documentation, including the videos, your answer may already be there! Likewise, be sure to check the Development versions area, in case your problem may already have been solved.

In case of emergency (ie your site is down with a fatal error directly linked to one of our extensions), please contact us by email (see contact icon at the bottom of all pages of this site)

This plugin looks to be exactly what we are looking for. What common challenges do you see others having when setting up the plugin on a site that has been around a while?
Will all our URLs change? If so, will this change negatively affect our domain authority?
If i am already using Joomla's native redirect feature, will I need to recreate those as aliases?

Hi

Will all our URLs change? If so, will this change negatively affect our domain authority?
Yes, most likely your URLs will change, although you may reduce the number of instances this happen by working with the URL structure configuration of sh404SEF. We do not use menu items to build URLs but if your content structure match your navigation, you should be able to get pretty close to what you had before.
And then we have an automatic redirect feature, from Joomla SEF to sh404SEF which should take care of the rest. As always however, it's better to not change existing URLs, so it's your call.

If i am already using Joomla's native redirect feature, will I need to recreate those as aliases?
No. Although the Joomla redirect component can be disabled when sh404SEF as it's always bypassed, we do read the redirects in the component database table and apply them.

Best regards
