301 old blog links

Postby BMN » Tue Jan 04, 2011 10:41 am

I have a bunch of old blog links in this form:
Code: Select all
http://www.sitename.com/999/blog-slug-name/
(was on the index.php file)

I have set up a new structure and this is where all of my posts are now:
Code: Select all
http://www.sitename.com/post/999/blog-slug-name/


I've tried looking for 301 rewrite code, but have came up short. I'm assuming this is an easy line of code, but I just can't figure out what it should be.

Thanks.
BMN

I'm a noob at this, too, but I think what you're looking for is something along these lines:

RewriteRule ^/?999/([a-z/.]+)$ post/999/$1 [R=301,L]

which I adapted from example #6 at http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/a ... examples/2

I'm not sure the "L" flag should be in there. You may want to try leaving it out if it's not the last line in your .htaccess.
