    Hi friends,

    I have a website which was earlier developed in simple HTML and now i have developed it in wordpress and want to redirect all my html pages to wordpress, which i can do with the help of WP plugins or .htaccess.
    But the problem is that there are 300-400 html pages on root folder which is now increasing 404 error pages. Now i used 301 redirection and redirected few of them (like for 300 pages) to respective wordpress pages & other to home page. But it is increasing my server load time because of lots of redirection commend in .htaccess.

    Is there any other solution for redirecting all my html pages to respective wordpress pages and simultaneously maintain my website speed.

    There are still lots of other 404 error pages found on the website which i need to redirect them.

    Thanks
    Naveen

    Hi.
    If you move content from html pages into wordpress pages - you can delete html pages.

    If you are keeping html pages - you have to make new links to these pages - from wordpress to html pages and from html pages to wordpress.

    400 pages - this is maybe a few hrs job to make new links. You don't need to use redirections.

    That's fine but i don't want to keep html pages because my new website look is much better than old one and now i don't want to expend anything to redesign my html pages like new one.

    Is there any other option???

    Thanks

    You can do some changes in .htaccess file and some setting for permalink.
