URLTracker on Umbraco 15? (Upgrading from 13 to 15)

Hi All!

We’re upgrading from Umbraco 13 to 15. We’re using the URLTracker package but it seems to not support v15.

That’s what we’re currently using: URL Tracker | Umbraco Marketplace

What’s the best alternative? We’re dealing with thousands of redirects. If the alternative can support a batch upload – would be a great bonus.

Many thanks in advance

It seems like they are still working on migrating it over: Support for Umbraco 16 & 17 · Issue #188 · Infocaster/UrlTracker · GitHub . You could always see if you can help them out with some pull requests.

Otherwise, SeoToolkit also has a redirects module, although it doesn’t replace the current Umbraco one regarding moving/renaming content. You could give that a try to see if it something for you (disclaimer: I am the package developer of SeoToolkit)

Hi,

First of all, thanks!

I see from the discussion there that it’ll take time.

On SEOToolkit, what happens when I move content/rename? Currently it redirects automatically. But here, can I redirect it manually?

Thank you!

When you move content/rename, it will automatically make a redirect within Umbraco. That is something that Umbraco does out of the box. Currently SeoToolkit doesn’t handle that (though there are plans to do that in the future).

SeoToolkit allows you to manually create your own redirects. It supports redirecting to urls, content and media items. You can also bulk import redirects

Thanks

Do you know if I can download my redirects from the URLTracker and upload them to SEOToolkit? Because v13 is soon EOL and I don’t want to wait for the URLTracker upgrade, on the other hand – I can’t upgrade to v15 without solving this issue.

I don’t know if URLTracker has an export, but otherwise I think you could also get the data from the database right?

SeoToolkit currently only supports importing the following data, so you would just need to get this data:

  • From url
  • To url
  • Status code (301, 302)

Or do you have additional data that URLTracker stores for you?

Maybe I’d like also the creation date of the redirection. But those 3 are definity the most important ones.

Thank you!

What about the Skybrud Redirect package, available for v8 – v17?

Hi, thanks! Yes, we just saw it and looking into it. Hope it’ll do.

A bit late to the party, but as of last month Infocaster released v17 (LTS). Hopefully this will help you with the update from v13.
