To display your events, you will need to manually add them to the new community. In the DNS configuration, update it by clicking to migrate to the root community. *![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-26-2025-04-03-31-7261-PM.png?width=670&height=413&name=image-png-Aug-26-2025-04-03-31-7261-PM.png)*   **Redirect configuration** The DNS migration process automatically creates redirect entries in the target community. *Access: Website & App \> Webmaster \> Redirects*   **Publishing the community** Once the community has been created and configured, remember to publish it.   **Points to watch** URLs will change to reflect the new structure: **Before** Example: [https://events.inwink.com/event-paris-2025](https://events.inwink.com/event-paris-2025) **After** /e/ for an event Example: [https://events.inwink.com/e/event-paris-2025](https://events.inwink.com/e/event-paris-2025) /c/ for a community Example: [https://events.inwink.com/c/communaute-paris-2025](https://events.inwink.com/c/communaute-paris-2025) **Good to know** Redirects are created automatically, but you can edit or add to them manually if needed.  -
