Question

I had old wordpress blog which was under mywebsite.com/wordpress

Now I have moved this blog but I would like to redirect the entire wordpress folder to a single category page mywebsite.com/category/test

The problem is that I don’t know how to redirect dynamic pages (all at once) such as

wordpress/?p=1

wordpress/?p=2

wordrpess/?page_id=1362

and others.

I don’t need a page to page redirect, just an entire redirect from the wordpress folder to one single category page.

Answer 1

I see that you have used the .htaccess tag, so assume you have access to an .htaccess file.

Try this in .htaccess in the root of your website:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite\.com$
RewriteRule ^facts/(.*)$ http://mywebsite.com/category/test/ [R=permanent,L]

Let us know if that works!

EDIT: Add a ? to the end of the destination rule to strip the querystring info:

RewriteRule ^facts/(.*)$ http://mywebsite.com/category/test/? [R=permanent,L]
