Hello.

Im new here so I will try to explain myself the best I can.

Time a go I change the permalinks on my wordpress blog and I got this on my .htaccess for make redirection and avoid to lost traffic

RedirectMatch 301 ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+).html$ http://www.mysite.com/$2

Now, I want to change the permalinks from /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html to
/video/%postname%.html My site is not installed on the sub folder. Is ben install on the main root. I know how to change that permalinks from wordpress settings, but I can not find a way to do a propper 301 redirection for my old posts (around 43900 posts)

Anyone know if is possible made that and how, please?

Im not that good with php

  • Normally Wordpress changes the .htaccess for you when you change your permalink method.

    I would download a copy of the present .htaccess first just to be safe (make sure the encoding doesn't get changed when you open it)

    Then just update your permalinks (copy the old setting down just in case).

    Chances are everything will work fine without additional work.
