# Subdomain Settings

 * Need a little help with some settings. I have a subdomain setup: fmj.ethosource.
   com. If you go there, DNS is setup to take you to [http://www.ethosource.com](http://www.ethosource.com).
   I want to take all traffic from fmj.ethosource.com and redirect it to [http://www.ethosource.com/newpage](http://www.ethosource.com/newpage).
   Could someone tell me what the settings would be? I’ve seen the page on the URL
   and Server redirects, but it doesn’t show the first couple fields. For instance,
   is the source URL just “/”?
 * I tried setting it up but it is forwarding all traffic, not just subdomain traffic.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsubdomain-settings%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * What do you mean it doesnt show the first couple fields?
 * You enter the URL and server name, as shown here:

 * I meant that your screenshot under the “URL and Server” section doesn’t include
   all the settings, so I thought maybe those were what were messing me up.
 * Trying to redirect a subdomain to our About page as a test. Here are my redirect
   settings:
 *     ```
       SOURCE URL: /
       QUERY PARAMETERS: Ignore & pass parameters to the target
       MATCH: URL and server
       SERVER: https://fmj.ethosource.com
       WHEN MATCHED: Redirect to URL with HTTP code 301-Moved Permanently
       MATCHED TARGET: /about
       UNMATCHED TARGET: (empty)
       ```
   
 * Entering fmj.ethosource.com into a browser just takes you to the homepage, and
   doesn’t redirect you to ethosource.com/about. I know I’m doing something wrong,
   I just don’t know what that is. Thanks for the help!

 * The screenshot shows the settings specific to ‘URL and server’. The rest are 
   detailed elsewhere.
 * [https://fmj.ethosource.com](https://fmj.ethosource.com) has an invalid SSL certificate
 * [https://fmj.ethosource.com](https://fmj.ethosource.com) is being redirected 
   to /about. You will need to clear your browser cache.

 * As of right now,
    [https://fmj.ethosource.com/](https://fmj.ethosource.com/) 
   is redirecting to [https://www.ethosource.com/ifma/](https://www.ethosource.com/ifma/)
 * This does bring up a good point though as with Apache and Sub-domains, one needs
   to include the Sub-domain dir. name in the Source URL.
 * Source URL: ^/fmj/
    Target URL: [https://www.ethosource.com/about/](https://www.ethosource.com/about/)
 * The above is presuming you have a dir. structure like:
    public_html/fmj/
