    Hi,

    We just switched over a non-wordpress site to wordpress and we are attempting to use the .htaccess to map and 301 redirect the old URLs. This does not seem to be working. We're using:

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

# END WordPress


Redirect 301 /oldsite/Info.aspx?pid=26 http://www.example.com/new-website-page/
    Code (markup):

    Please advise

    I guess you need to put those redirect line ie. for old one in separate .htaccess under folder /oldsite/ , ie. the place where actually Info.aspx?pid=26 pages exists and it is in /oldsite/

    Try out and let us know !!

    Dear visitors

    How do I make redirect 301 for .aspx pages ???

    I would like to redirect few URLs (homepage) to the main URL.

    My homepage is "http://www.________.com/" and I would like to redirect
    (301) the following pages:

    "http://www.________.com"
    "http://________.com"
    "http://________.com/"
    "www.________.com"
    "www.________.com/"
    "www.________.com/default.aspx"

    Right now the default URL in my CMS is "www.________.com/default.aspx",
    but the homepage is "http://www.________.com/"


    By the way, Google webmaster tool thinks that I have 2 pages with
    duplicate Meta tags - the "/" page and the "/default.aspx" page.


    Thanks
    Fortumania
