   Hi WordPress gang,

   I have converted a HTML site of mine about 15 pages to WordPress yesterday, but although I'm happy with the change I dare not put it live; reason being the old URLs are not the same like the current ones with WordPress.

   Can someone guide me a little on how to redirect the old URLs to the new URLs in WordPress?

   I heard there was a plugin to do this, but I'm not sure if it will work, because the old site was not a WordPress site :(

   Are the old URLs consistent in any way? I mean, is there some sort of "rule" you could devise to convert from one to the other?

   If not, you may just need to do a large set of redirects, like this:

   Redirect /oldpath/oldfile.html http://example.com/newpath/newlink/

   Just make one of those for each URL, stick them in the main .htaccess.

   Thanks Otto,

   I'll try that out.
