   I used to host my blog with blogger and have switched to wordpress. The link structure is identical except the old posts end with /post.html and the new ones end with /post/

   Any help on writing a regular expression to redirect all these at once?

   Thanks and great work

   Try:

   Source url: ^/(.+)/post\.html$
   Regex: ticked
   Target: /$1/post/

   Code: 301 Moved permanently

   Thanks for the reply. What I meant is that I had my blog set up as:
   http://domain.com/year/day/post-name.html
   and now it's
   http://domain.com/year/day/post-name/

   These are just examples and the word post is not really used. How would I remove the ".html" and replace it with a "/"?

   Thanks again

   Seedsca: did you even bother to try the solution I gave you ? It *will* do what you need it to do based on the information you provided...

   Anyways, if you want to make it more specific and postname is a variable as well, try:

   Source url: ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]+)/(.+)\.html$
   Regex: ticked
   Target: /$1/$2/$3/
   Code: 301 Moved permanently

   If you know the allowed characters for the post-name part of the url, you can even make that bit more specific, something like [a-z0-9-]+ for instance.

   @jrf: I did try it without success. The second option worked like a charm however.

   Thank you
