How to do a redirect to different domain but same directory for all links site wide? Javascript? – Shopify

We have an old domain on an old shopify site. We have a new domain on a new wordpress website.

Our goal is to re-direct all old links from the old site/domain to the new site domain.

For example if a user goes to www.old-website.com/collection/product

it will re-direct them to www.new-website.com/collection/product.

So basically i wana keep /collection/product but swap out the rest of the domain.

I am using this script but i think its too simple and just re-directing to the home page. 

<script type="text/javascript">
            window.location.href = "https://new-website.com"
</script>

So instead of simply changing the location to the new domain. How do I keep the directories but change the domain and then re-direct?

    You can take the entire url (document.location.href) and split the parameters to append it to the new url.

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var restOfTheUrl = domainName.split('old-website.com')[1] || ''; 
        window.location.href = "https://new-website.com" + restOfTheUrl;
</script>

    If your user will go to www.old-website.com/collection/product

    The entire path (except old domain) is appended to the new domain and the result url it will look like this https://new-website.com/collection/product

    If you are forced to do it with JavaScript, then simply try 

    location.hostname = 'new-website.com';

    Thinking a little out of the box. If you have access to the DNS, you can easily do that using use the redirect.center service.

    You need to add / modify 2 records of the old-website.com zone:

    @   A     54.84.55.102
www CNAME new-website.com

    The advantage is that this is a 301 redirect which is better for SEO. Also you can remove your old website, possibly saving some bucks.
