Question

I just moved a site to WordPress.

The old sites urls for posts looked like this http://www.example.com/view-story.php?sid=437
Wordpress looks like this http://www.example.com/?p=437

I need to redirect any requests to the old url to the new wordpress url.

Can anyone tell me what I need to put in the htaccess file for the site?

Thanks

Answer 1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^sid=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^view-story.php ?p=%1 [R=302,L]

change 302 to 301 once you get it working.
