Hello,

On a website I own we recently changed the blog from yoursite.com/newsletter to yoursite.com/somethingelse

The old yoursite.com/newsletter has a lot of backlinks pointing to it and now obviously anyone clicking those links will get an error page.

How can I set up a simple redirect in Wordpress to the new address and will those backlinks still give value to the new address?

    If it's Wordpress I suggest you install the free plugin called 404 to start.
