Redirecting - Nothing happens ??

    Hi,
    I have Wordpress blog on my site. Recently Made entire site run on WP that replaced an old, outdated site. Not sure if I did it properly but now I have 2 Wordpress installations.
    That is fine but I want to permanently redirect some post to new main site pages.
    mysite.com/blog/post to redirect to mysite.com/newpage
    I tried using cpanel and nothing happens. I tried use a WP plugin and nothing happens.
    Any ideas. I believe my posts are cannibalizing my seo and trying to clean things up.

    Thank You!

    Since you are only moving one item, a 301 redirect should be just fine.

    Thank you for replying. I am actually redirecting a bunch of old Post.
    The issue is I do the redirect and the old url still goes to old post.

    Did you try "301 Redirects – Easy Redirect Manager" plugin?
    It is easy to manage your redirections with it.

    You may try adding the following rewrite rule at the top of the .htaccess file of your website.
    Backup the .htaccess before editing, so that you can revert the original file, if the rule conflicts with any other rules in your .htaccess. Replace mysite.com with your actual domain name.

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com[nc]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

    //301 Redirect Entire Directory
    RedirectMatch 301 /blog/post/(.*) newpage//$1
