Hello! there,

I have a wordpress blog setup the following way using permalinks feature:

http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post.html
http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post-2.html
http://www.mydomain.com/blog-post-3.html

and I've now decided to add the following structure:

http://www.mydomain.com/read/blog-post.html
http://www.mydomain.com/read/blog-post-2.html
http://www.mydomain.com/read/blog-post-3.html

So how do I 301 redirect all the old links to new structure using htaccess?

I've tried many methods while doing a research on Google but still haven't found the solution. So anyone here to help me with the problem?

Thanks!!

    Be sure to update your permalinks settings after putting this in your .htaccess file. Yours should probably look like: /read/%postname%.html

    Make sure you have FTP access to your htaccess file in case the above fails and causes a 500 error.

      Thanks both of you guys but they didn't worked. Anyway, I found the solution myself. The solution I used was the following plugin found at: Permalinks Migration Plugin for wordpress : DEAN LEE:/DEV/BLOG
