How to keep old URLs?

Post by mlacunzav » Fri Jun 29, 2018 6:45 pm

Hi,
Im migrating an old website, it have in a folder a bunch of php files, each one create an XML with an specific content for RSS syndication. So my idea now is create a new component with a new view for each php file and migrate the code, but that will going to broke the old urls already indexed and used for many clients, so whats the best way to keep the old urls? Use a sef component? or?
Saludos / Best Regards!
