Help with Permalinks / URL Re-Writing on IIS7
-
Hi,
I’m moving my existing old blog over to WordPress and would like to ensure I don’t lose traffic to old URLS.My existing URL structure is:
Homepage: sitename.co.uk/index.asp
Category: sitename.co.uk/category/index.asp
Pages / Posts: sitename.co.uk/category/postname.aspI have set wordpress up as follows:
Homepage: sitename.co.uk/
Category: sitename.co.uk/category/
Pages / Posts: sitename.co.uk/category/postname.aspwith the following code in the web.config file:
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard"> <match url="*"/> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/> </rule>
and that works fine.
My question is, using the web.config file how do I redirect
Category: sitename.co.uk/category/index.asp to Category: sitename.co.uk/category/ – i.e lose the /index.asp on the end.
I have a ton of backlinks to the /index.asp pages and really would like to do a re-write rather than lose all of this.
Thanks
