A Little Help Please

Hello and thank you for your time warriors. I recently set up a new site. However in the process of setting up this new site a few things went wrong and wound up having to change a few things around.

So now I have a bit of a problem. About ten of my original post where in one section and I had to create a new section to make all of my posts. This conflict was with in the site directory itself. So what I had to do to fix the main problem was to rename the original wp directory. I did not change the directory much all I did was give it a capital letter instead of a lower case.

Now my problem is that I need to redirect those originall post that where done under the lowercase to the new upper case. So does anyone know how I can redirect an entire directory from lower case to upercase so that it will show the new location. Since all of the post where indexed this really does need to be done untill google and the others drop the old posts and reindex the new ones.

Thanks for your time and input on this.

      The database is not an issue for I was able to transfer all old work to the new location. What I am needing is to some how set up a redirect so that the search traffic the site is getting to the old locations to direct them to the new location. Now it would need to redirect the entire old section to the new locations.

      I was hoping to do it with either the htaccess file instead of going through and doing it manually by creating new files for the old locations and directing them to the new. Is there a quicker and easier way to do this with the htaccess file or do I have to do it manually one at a time. Keep in mind this was a wordpress db with about 10 or so post. Not to mention I am not able to resubmit the feed to the locations it was originally submitted to. Since that feed no longer exists anymore. So I really need to get it to redirect that mostly the rest I could really care less about at this time.

      Once the new pages start getting indexed things should e back on track. To think this is about the 15 site I have set up ove this year and this last one has caused the most problems. Mainly because I was trying something different then what I was used to. My other sits are either a full wordpress with only one major wordpress blog or as the main site. Or they are an html home page and a wordpress blog section.

      This one on the other hand is 2 seperate wordpress sites on one and thinking of adding a third for my video section. Just goes to show trying new things can some times screw you up big time and should stick to what you know works.
