Change URL? – THATCamp

boisestate — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:17:28 +0000

Hi – We’re hosting our third THATCamp here at Boise State University and we would like to change the URL from this website, http://boisestate2013.thatcamp.org/ to reflect this year’s event. Should I start a new website via the THATCamp WordPress site, or can someone change our URL to this: http://boisestate2014.thatcamp.org/?

Many Thanks,
Memo Cordova
(aka Boisestate)

I’ve checked around a little bit, but Amanda might have better knowledge.

I think that if you (or us) just changed the URL, then all of the registrations would still be there, and there wouldn’t be a way to distinguish the posts or users from 2013 and 2014. So, I’m pretty sure the best thing to do is sign up for boisestate2014.thatcamp.org

Hope that helps

Yes, I’d agree — you should definitely sign up for a new THATCamp Boise State 2014 with the URL http://boisestate2014.thatcamp.org using the Registry form at http://thatcamp.org/registry. That’ll create a default blank site, but if you let us know, we can replace that default site with a duplicate of the http://boisestate2013.thatcamp.org site. I’ve forgotten whether that cloned site would include users and registrations (I think so), but it would definitely include all the content, theme customizations, and plugins.

Dear Patrick & Amanda,

Thank you for the assist. I do want to keep the 2013 site so I will do as you both suggest and start a new site with the following URL: http://boisestate2014.thatcamp.org.

Thank you!
Memo
