Hi, I'm migrating an old domain to Webfaction from a prior web host. I want to host the new site as a Wordpress blog, so I've installed a Wordpress site on a temporary domain to get it setup before I shift the domain. There will be links to locations on the old site, which will not match on the new site. I figure .htaccess is my friend here, I can just redirect the incoming links to new locations. To test it, I edited the .htaccess in the Wordpress root folder and added the last RewriteCond and RewriteRule. My aim is to redirect all http://af.openfutures.net/nuevo/blahblahblah links to http://af.openfutures.net/blahblahblah
Totally fails. When I try to access /nuevo, I get a 404. I don't have any cache plugins in Wordpress. So... I'm asking for help.

Oh. It seems Wordpress just writes over that file. So, I've installed the Redirection plugin in Wordpress. answered 19 Dec '14, 05:02 timmansfield |
