Hmm… The .htaccess redirect seems to only work to point to a specific directory. Since WordPress doesn’t actually create a directory for a post, the redirect fails. Maybe I’ve got the syntax wrong? Should there be a carriage return between the old link and the correct link, or will a space work just as well?
The domain name points to the root of the WordPress directory, so I shouldn’t have to specify a folder… Or should I?
I tried "Redirect /?p=189 /?p=191" which gives a 500 Internal Server Error page.
I also tried "Redirect http://www.domain_name.com/?p=189 http://www.domain_name.com/?p=191" which gives a “Sorry, no posts were found” page. Just like not having a redirect there at all.
Post #191 is where I want the /?p=189 links to point. If I put http://www.domain_name.com/?p=191 into a browser, it pulls the page up just fine, but http://www.domain_name.com/?p=189 gives the “Sorry…” error page.
I’ve also set up a 404 that includes links, but lots of people hitting that don’t appear to move past that to go to the correct page. I’m wondering if putting pictures in there would help.
