.htaccess code

Hi guys,

I'm running a new wordpress installation instead of my old html site.

I have a lot of pages that have this structure

www.domain.com/word.htm

I want to redirect all these pages to tags under the new website

so that previous URL will be redirected to www.domain.com/tag/word

I know it's doable using .htaccess, but I just don't know how

OR - is there a way to change the tag structure in wordpress to go from www.domain.com/tag/word to www.domain.com/word.htm

Either way is fine for me.

Any help will be appreciaed.

Thanks

 

Anybody ?
Can someone move the thread to apache sub forum ?

Thanks

 

try to use these in the top of your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ http ://domain.com/tag/$1 [R=301,L]

 

Hi,

thanks ..

But wherever I put that (top/ middle / bottom) in the htaccess file, I get a internal server error ..

This is the existent code in the htaccess file

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

 

just try to add
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ http ://domain.com/tag/$1 [R=301,L]
after line
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
