    I suppose you want to do a redirect from an old URL to a new one. You can do it with the .htaccess file this way:

    Redirect 301 /oldURL.html http://www.example.com/newURL.html

    Hi there,

    I am running into a problem.

    Here's our htaccess file:


    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Redirect 301 /subdomain_of_siteA/e_articles.html http://www.SiteA.com
    this gives us a 404 and further the URL that shows in the URL bar is:

    siteA.com/e-articles.com

    Which doesn't exist, hence the 404.

    But why is it not forwarding to the domain?

    Thank you in advance for any pointers,

    Sasha.

    Hi there,

    Yes, I am.

    We are trying to get the following domain:

    http://www.siteA.com/subdomain_of_siteA/e_articles.html

    to forward permanently to:

    http://www.SiteA.com

    Thanks for asking for clarification. This is really bugging us as to why it's not working.

    All the best,

    Sasha.
