Hi there, I’m wondering if it would be possible to set up a persisstent URL forwarding on my project URL that would work beyond the platform shutdown on Feb 28, 2026? I’ve exported my project and am setting up on my own server, but the the image target I use is a handpainted QR code of the project URL. Any help would be great, thanks!
Hi Zac,
Dashboard access ends this year, but published projects (and 8th.io codes) will continue to work until Feb 2027. What URL is in the QR code?
Hi Cristoph,
Thanks, good to hear the project will be live for a bit longer. The URL in the QR code is the URL of my project: 12x12 So when you scan the QR code, it opens the project, and looks for the image anchor (which is also the QR code).
If it’s the 8thwall.app link, what you can do after the new server is set up is add window.location.href = 'https://new-server-url.com' to your project code in app.js, that’ll immediately redirect users to your new URL. You’ll want to publish that to your 8thwall.app URL before Feb 28th 2026. That way you can continue to push updates to the new URL after dashboard access ends.
If it was to 8th.io/xxx instead, you’d have the option to edit that redirect to your project’s new URL directly.
