    Here is my setup:

    website.com – dozens of HTML pages with a link to the blog

    website.com/blog – the blog posts

    So, I’ve been copying over my HTML pages into my WordPress blog so that the blog will contain both pages and posts.

    When I’m finished I will delete all of the top level HTML pages.

    This means my website will look like this: website.com/blog

    My question is how do I setup the redirects from the pages and posts in website.com/blog to website.com ?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi, Kevin.

    You can install one of the free plugins available within the WordPress.org plugin repository that will redirect your pages: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/redirect/.

    Please note that there is a very slight performance hit with using plugin(s) to do this.

    If you felt adventurous enough, you could also play around with your .htaccess file. You can follow some tutorials, like https://linchpinseo.com/htaccess-rules/, if you wanted.

    Okay thanks.

    I was thinking more in terms of using a wildcard inside of the .htaccess file but I’m not sure this will work.

    I’m trying to find the easiest way possible instead of doing it all manually if possible.
