# Htaccess URL Redirect

 * I run a site for work at healthiercolorado.org. Right now we have a WordPress
   installation at blog.healthiercolorado.org, but I will be moving it to just healthiercolorado.
   org this weekend and getting rid of the existing site in the root directory. 
   I know how to do the move, but I have a question about redirects.
 * I need to ensure that the link: [http://blog.healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/add-your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/](http://blog.healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/add-your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/)
   redirects to just: [http://healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/add-your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/](http://healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/add-your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/)
   and that the link: [http://blog.healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-immunization-rules/](http://blog.healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-immunization-rules/)
   redirects to just: [http://healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-immunization-rules/](http://healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-immunization-rules/),
   so that people who have the old links can still use them.
 * 1. My current .htaccess file reads:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * Would the correct rewrite of this for the redirect be:
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule blog.
   healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-immunization-
   rules/$ healthiercolorado.org/public-health/let-cdphe-know-we-support-the-proposed-
   immunization-rules/ [R] RewriteRule blog.healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/add-
   your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/$ healthiercolorado.org/food-policy/
   add-your-voice-to-our-farm-to-school-campaign/ [R] RewriteBase / RewriteRule 
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * 2. Is there any way to do this redirect without editing the .htaccess file? I
   would prefer to avoid this if at all possible, though I understand if it is is
   not possible.
 * Thank you all so much for your help.
