permanent Redirect /%postname%/.html to /%postname%.html

Hi Guys!

Few month ago i mistakenly write /%postname%/.html instead of /%postname%.html

but now if i make it correct like /%postname%.html then the result on google redirect to "page not found page"

can any body tell me what to write in my .htaccess file to redirect my url from google /%postname%/.html to /%postname%.html

 

First line of the .htaccess write

Redirect "original url" "new url"

that should work (remove quotes)

 

tough one to crack...

try posting your issue in search engine section (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5)

if you need technical help using the redirects.. read this sticky (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=23044)
or this wordpress documentation (http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)

 

This is because of your have not redirected your old url to new one. Just add this line in your htaccess:

Redirect 301 /%postname%/.html http://www.yourdomainname.com/%postname%.html

and your post would work fine.

 

should i have to redirect each and every url like this?

 

yes, you need to redirect all pages.

 

is there any fast solution?

plz let me know the complete coding if i have to change the each link

 

Let me know the urls that you need to redirect so that can provide you with the exact code.

 

/important-trainer./html to http://www.hulsestrength.com/important-trainer.html

 

Just add the following line in your htacces:

Redirect 301 /important-trainer./html http://www.hulsestrength.com/important-trainer.html

This will redirect your older page to new one. Similarly you can redirect your other pages as well.

 

no it is not working when i click on my old URL through google, it take me to page can not found page



# 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 /real-inspiration/.html http://www.hulsestrength.com/real-inspiration.html

 

Why did you add fake file extensions anyway? It just looks messy to human eyes and search engines.

To answer your question, you'll have to manually redirect each post with htaccess's "Redirect 301"

Redirect 301 /old-url/.html http://newurl.com/post.html

i did and it is not working

 

You may need to contact your hosting provider and confirm that you have Apache's Mod-Rewrite Rules enabled.
