   I just moved my blog from a hosted page on SquareSpace to a WordPress install on my web host. The import was easy, but I'm now facing the thorny problem of permalinks.

   In my case, Squarespace's permalink structure is as follows:

   http://example.com/blog/2011/01/01/a-blog-post.html

   I want to redirect these to

   http://example.com/2011/01/01/a-blog-post/

   Can someone help me with a mod_rewrite rule to do this?

   Thank in advance,

   Monica

   Modify the .htaccess in your web root adding the line...

   RewriteRule ^(.+).html$ $1 [L,NC,R=301]

   ...so that the file looks something like the following...

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^(.+).html$ $1 [L,NC,R=301]
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   You may have other lines as well. Mine is pretty vanilla but this is working for me.

   Here is a sample URL... San Elijo Lagoon Wildlife | Trevor Cooper Photography

   Hope it works for you as well.
