Hi all,
I'm busy updating a website which has a couple hundred static pages to a Wordpress-based CMS setup.
The current site has been out there for a few years, and likely has lots of in-bound links to specific pages, which when moving to Wordpress, I'd like to have automatically redirect to the new page to prevent existing incoming links from being unusable.
I've created the pages of the new site using fairly verbose slugs, which don't necessarily relate 1:1 with the existing html document filenames, so I'm not sure whether a simple htaccess rule will do the job?
Could I list the old and new in an htaccess file, or replace all the existing html documents with ones containing purely a simple redirection to the new content?
