mode rewrite question

Hi all,

I have a Wordpress blog page URL as: http://www.mysite.com/about

but I want to use the following URL instead: http://www.mysite.com/about.html


Can anyone please tell me how to achieve it using mode rewrite?

Thanks in advance.

 

Change your permalink setting to /%postname%.html and update mode rewrite to
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

 

thank you for you quick reply.

But i just want to do it for the "about" page, but not others. (sounds stupid, but ya, only that "about" page)

Can you tell me how to do that?

Thanks a lot.

 

RewriteRule ^about$ about.html [L]

 

hm... it doesn't work for this:

RewriteRule ^free-game-downloads$ free-game-downloads.html [L]

my site: http://www.km603.com/free-game-downloads

Here is what I have so far:

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

# END WordPress

Code (markup):

 

change the order:

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

# END WordPress

Code (markup):

btw, if that page is already indexed in search engine, i suggest you add a 301 header to it, so that it retains his status and links - [L,R=301] instead of [L]

 

hmmm. thats wierd. It doesn't work either. It gave me 404 not found as before.
