301 redirect on Wordpress

by djmurray Posted: 16 years ago 6 replies

Hi,
I've had a Wordpress blog in subdirectory /blog/ for some time but now want to move it into the root directory. I've worked out how to use 301 if I were moving it to an entirely different domain, but simply moving back a level on the same domain is defeating me. Can anyone suggest how? I should say that there are around 100 posts so I don't want to have to set up individual redirects for each one.
Thanks,

Not entirely sure, but I think an .htaccess rule would take care of this problem just fine.

Just remember in your .htaccess file that you need to include the FULL url in your redirect, even if it is the same domain. As I don't have enough posts to be able to submit links here I'm not allowed to post anything that looks like a link, but basically it is:

Redirect 301 /blog <your full domain url>

  Hey David,
  I did this exact thing with one of my blogs. You can use this plugin to redirect your visitors:
  
  WordPress › Dean's Permalinks Migration « WordPress Plugins
  
  You just input your old permalinks structure in the settings. For me it was:
  
  Code:
  
  /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
  
  good luck
