Hi, I want to redirect every page on my old site (Wordpress) to a single page on my new site (Wordpress), what is the best htaccess rule to use? I have found rules that permanentlty redirect the index page, but can't find a rule that redirects every page to a single page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    A 301 redirect should permanently redirect the whole site. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure that's how it works.

    That was my understanding too, but I just implemented the following rule and it has only redirected my index page. I know this because if I go to myoldsite . com / Page I am able to view it.

    Code:
    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http : //w w w . newdomain . com/$1 [R=301,L]
    Please ignore the spaces in the URL in the above code, I have too few posts to post a URL.

      Code:
      RedirectMatch 301 ^/.+$ http://www.example.com/

    Do I replace my code with that or do I add it to the code? You'll have to forgive me, I'm not too familiar with htaccess!

      The above will permanently redirect all pages on the current website to the website specified. You won't need other code.
      If for whatever reason it doesn't work you can try to remove then '301' as it isn't necessary to supply that argument.
