I'm in the process of moving a site that was in ASP.net to WordPress, so I had to set up some redirects. I'm a rookie to Linux servers so apologies in advance if this is a really dumb question. Here's one that is causing problems: This is needed because WordPress adds the word "category" into the URL of category pages. Note: it doesn't add it onto the actual individual pages in that category. The problem is that I want this redirect to work on ONLY the category root and it is affecting all the category pages. Therefore: http://www.mysite.com/News/ goes to http://www.mysite.com/category/news this is working with my rule above, but: http://www.mysite.com/News/News-Item1.aspx goes to http://www.mysite.com/news/news-item1.aspx I have the permalinks in WP set up so the second one works when the .htaccess rule is not there, but with the rule in place then I get this: http://www.mysite.com/News/News-Item1.aspx goes to http://www.mysite.com/category/newsnews-item1.aspx Which results in a 404 Is there a way to modify the rule so that it only redirects the category root pages and not all the individual articles?
