I would have had everyone hitting my “404″ page for the blog all the time. But, besides installing Scotty’s Permalink Redirect WordPress Plugin
And then hitting him up on MSN Messenger for some further help with the blog’s redirects. I would have maybe lost alot of incoming hits or traffic. Since I had changed my blog’s location from:
domain.com/blog
to
domain.com
I had noticed alot of error pages people would have been getting, an example such as this:
If people were coming in from search engine hits and some might have came in on this:
http://www.vindictivebastard.com/blog/brand-new…
They would have gotten a blog “404″ page before. But now, with the help of Scotty
By adding this code:
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://www.vindictivebastard.com/$1 [R,L]
To the .htaccess file, now all them links are redirecting automatically. =) Example:
http://www.vindictivebastard.com/blog/brand-new…
Now redirects to the proper location of:
http://www.vindictivebastard.com/brand-new…
An awesome THANKS! Goes to Scotty for this help. =) Ok, now it’s time to get to work on the new theme again lol…later..
