I have a website with .html pages and now I have decided to install wordpress on it. But how can i redirect old pages to new pages to this wordpress blog???? Can anyone explain me in detail
when you install wordpress and set the permalinks, you will see an .htaccess file in main directory(ftp). open that file and add lines like this: Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html if you need more help, you can search for "301 redirect".
addlinkurl@Thanks Brother. really very thank you for reply, But I want to know about permalink little a more. and will .htaccess work on 000webhost[dot]com
when you install wordpress, you will see the permalinks under the Settings in wp admin panel. if your host is linux, yes it will work perfectly.
install wp in root dir ( for better ranking install in root dir) setup ur blog, add new content and use redirection plugin which is easy to use and set old url to new one easily. visitors will visit new link, but backlink will still count for old link.
