Hi,
I've just started a new blog recently and unfortunately the old wordpress sample pages/ posts (installed along with WordPress) have been indexed by Google. I would like to redirect all to the homepage by modyfing the .htaccess file. After several attempts the redirects still don't work. See below the content I have in the .htaccess file.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/hello-world/ http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/hello-world/?share=google-plus-1 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/sample-page/ http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/2011/06/ http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/hello-world/?replytocom=1 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/2011/05/ http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
Redirect 301 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/?p=1 http://www.augmentedtomorrow.com/
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
