    i really want to rename category in the url to another word.

    how do i 301 so the every category page redirects to the url with the new word that i’ve yet to change for example:

    site.com/category/superduper

    should 301 redirect to

    site.com/new-word/superduper

    im still going to have to make the manual changes of the url within content where i’ve linked to these pages eventually, but if i can at least get the proper 301 setup it will allow me to take my time doing it.

    Hey addaminsane,

    I’d consider using a plugin like Redirection, because it allows flexibility and easy addition of rewrite rules, but I think if you’re doing this through .htaccess, you’d do something like this:

    RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ /new-word/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

    Hope that helps!
    Eric
