   Hi,

   I moved my old blogger blog to wordpress and I have a questions about redirecting the traffic.

   I had a custom domain with blogger and the permalinks had the same structure I now have with wordpress except that it always added an .html.

   What do I need to add to my .htaccess file so that people that click in Google's search results on

   http://myblog.com/01/01/article.html

   get redirected to

   http://myblog.com/01/01/article/

   ?

   I know there are several permalinks migration plugins out there but I transferred the posts manually and did not set the permalink structure right from begin with.

   Hope someone can help me with that. I would really appreciate it though!

   Thanks so much!

   Just put .HTML at the end of your permalinks and that will do it, really.

   Or this .htaccess
   RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ http://www.example.com$1

   Hi Ipstenu,

   thanks for your response. You are right with what you say but I forgot to mention that when I put .html at the end of the permalinks the facebook like button does not work anymore. When I then try to like a post it returns an error.

   I will try to use your second suggestion.

   Thanks for your help!
