URGENT:: How do I re-direct old WP blog posts???!??!?!

Okay, i am expecting traffic of about 8,000 from Google within the next two hours. I need to redirect my old post about the same thing only earlier to the new one.

I am on WP 2.3 !!

please DP, help!!

 

Already 92 people rushed in while I was writing this post. Help guys.. they are all on the earlier post- outdated.

 

I'm sorry no one answered this post. If you're still looking for a solution, you'll want to create or edit your htaccess file. For each url that's changed, you'll need to redirect it to the new url. This would look something like tihs:

Redirect permanent /OldExtension http://yoursite.com/new-extension

Code (markup):

An example of tihs would be:

Redirect permanent /website-marketing.html http://magicinthedesert.com/website-marketing

Code (markup):

Depending on your server you may have to change "redirect permanent" to "redirect 301". For example:

Redirect 301 /website-marketing.html http://magicinthedesert.com/website-marketing

Code (markup):

There are other ways to redirect, and you can read about them here.
PM me if you have questions.
