How to configure a permanent redirect in an htaccess file (3 posts)

    Hi there,

    We have a site where permalinks look like this:

    "www.mysite.com/sync/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html"

    We would like to have permanent redirects in our htaccess to redirect to this structure:

    "www.mysite.com/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html" (the /sync/ was removed)

    Anyone knows how to do that?

    Thanks!

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /sync/(.*)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/%1 [R=301,L]

    ??

    Thanks whooami!

    Unfortunately it doesn't work. I get 404 errors.

    Here's what I have in my htaccess file right now:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /sync/(.*)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wordpointer.com/%1 [R=301,L]

    # BEGIN WPSuperCache
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Thanks a lot.
