I had two unique websites, cassidykoconnor.com and blackhollowtown.com. My shopify store is connected to the cassidy domain. I want to redirect/forward the blackhollow domain to a specific page on my store and I don’t want that page visible on the main cassidy domain. Said another way, when they go to blackhollow domain they will see a specific page of my shopify store and won’t see anything else. When they go to the Cassidy domain they see everything except that blackhollow page.
I created a page for blackhollowtown but I can’t figure out where to put it in navigation. I tried creating it as a top level menu item and that isn’t working. Someone confirmed for me what I want to do is possible and the redirecting isn’t the problem, it’s the setup on the shopify side I’m stuck on. Here’s the blog post by the person who said this can be done.
Hi,
Without really knowing how you have setup the redirects and what you plan on doing on the redirect page accessed via blackhollow domain*.*
You can try this…
When they go to blackhollow domain they will see a specific page of my shopify store and won’t see anything else.
Create a new page template, create a new page and assign new template to page, modify page templates blocks via theme editor
In your Theme Editor
Select Pages
( under top - middle - right - drop-down )
Select Create Template Name = redirect-page Based on = Default Page
Click Create Template
In your Admin Panel > Sales Channels > Online Store > Pages
Click Add Page
Title =
( Title becomes the URL of page unless you update via Search engine listing preview > Edit website SEO, also lists the URL to use for the redirect ) Content =
Theme template = redirect-page
( the template created in first steps )
Click Save
In your Theme Editor
Select Pages
you should now see
redirect-page
Assigned to 1 page
Click into page
In the left hand column edit page theme blocks
Hide Header and Footer etc that references cassidykoconnor.com
Leave TemplatePage if you plan on using pages Title and Content
Add new Sections in the Template area based on your requirements
Please Note:
That a user could remove /pages/redirect-page and go to the home page of cassidykoconnor.com, unless you are able to do a masked URL forward “URL cloaking” via your domain registrar so when a user visits blackhollowtown.com and is redirected to cassidykoconnor.com/pages/redirect-page they continue to see blackhollowtown.com. Unsure if this is allowed or against Shopify’s T&C’s…
When they go to the Cassidy domain they see everything except that blackhollow page.
Don’t set up a top navigation on Cassidy Domain for the redirect page or users will be able to access. Please Note: cassidykoconnor.com/pages/redirect-page could show up in site-maps or be indexed and show up in 3rd party search results.
Hi,
Apologies this wont work as expected as the header and footer will be removed from all pages not just on the redirect page.
A quick solution is to create a custom liquid block on the redirect page and add some CSS to hide announcement bar, header and footer etc.
