Question

If I have an app on facebook that’s pulling the content from http://example.com for instance, is there a way I can stop people visting the example.com site and instead redirect them to the facebook app page?

1. Setup your website to default to index.html
2. Move the real content of your site from index.html to index-fb.html
3. In index.html then place either the meta tag for redirection or just javascript for location.href=” script for redirection. The url to redirect to will be in the https://apps.facebook.com/{yourappname} format.
4. In facebook, update the app settings canvas app url from http://example.com to http://example.com/index-fb.html
