   Hi everyone,

   I recently changed the structure of my site, making some pages "children" so that it was much better organised and user friendly.

   There are links that pointed to those pages thta users followed who will now be faced with a 404.

   Rather than go to every link on the internet and change them, is there any way i can point them to the right page? Will a 301 work and if yes how do i do it?

   Thx

   try adding the following line to your .htaccess file

   rewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

   This should redirect to the home any url request.

   Hi,

   Set your desired permalink and add this code in htaccess:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
