How To 301 Redirect Wordpress Posts To New Link Structure Using .htaccess?

CMS & WordPress

Hello! there,

I have a wordpress blog setup the following way using permalinks feature:

http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post.html
http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post-2.html
http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post-3.html

and I’ve now decided to add the following structure:

http://www.mydomain.com/[B]read[/B]/blog-post.html
http://www.mydomain.com/[B]read[/B]/blog-post-2.html
http://www.mydomain.com/[B]read[/B]/blog-post-3.html

So how do I 301 redirect all the old links to new structure using htaccess?

I’ve tried many methods while doing a research on Google but still haven’t found the solution. So anyone here to help me with the problem?

Thanks!!

You´ll need to write a separate line for every page you want to redicrect using the following:

redirect 301 /blog-post.html http://www.mydomain.com/read/blog-post.html
redirect 301 /blog-post-2.html http://www.mydomain.com/read/blog-post-2.htmll

And so on.:slight_smile:
