301 redirect question
I've only worked a little with Apache servers so I want to double check what I've done. I've implemented a 301 redirect on a WP site. It appears to have worked correctly but like I said I just want to be sure.
The original htaccess file looks like this. Notice the begin and end Wordpress comment tags. So I'm thinking this is instruction specifically for Wordpress and my redirect shouldn't be included here. In fact I'm thinking the redirect should be before any instructions for Wordpress because they should be executed when the site is first called.
So to that end I put the redirect before the Wp section like so...
This appears to have worked as intended, at least in my browser. I.E. and Firefox.
Does anyone else have experience using a 302 redirect with WP?
