Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Old club name in the URL

6 years 7 months ago

Our club recently changed its name. I was able to update the website and create a short URL that works - but when I do a Google search (like someone who is looking for a club in Wickliffe, Ohio might do) the old club name still appears in the URL. How can we remove the old club name (Miner Road Speakeasy) from the URL and replace it with the new club name, which is The Toastmasters of Wickliffe? Screenshot attached. Thank you for the help.

Google takes a while to catch up with changes. The Google bot needs to crawl your website before that will happen.

There may be ways to speed that up, but I'm not well-informed on such things (maybe someone else can comment).

Do, however, make sure that your URL is updated on any other websites where it appears. E.g. your District site, local "what's on" sites, Toastmasters International etc.

Get set up w/ Google Webmaster Tools to deal with this sort of thing.
www.google.com/webmasters/

Refer to our online docs for how to set up your FTH website to work w/ webmaster tools.

You can request that Google recrawl your website immediately.
