Question

we’re getting quite a few errors popping up in webmaster tools. Our homepage paginated pages are showing up without the page prefix i.e. 17/ instead of page/17/

Can anyone help me write a rule to redirect these pages so the errors don’t keep popping up?

We need to turn…

http://wwwexample.com/17/

into…

http://wwwexample.com/page/17/

We only need this to work for the homepage though as the pagination is working fine for the rest of the site i.e.

http://www.example.com/category/snails/17/ (This is working properly)

I’m not hot on mod rewrite and would like to start learning more about it.

Thanks,

James

Add these rules before your wordpress rules in your htaccess file in your document root:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/$ /page/$1/ [R=301,L]
