I'm almost done migrating a wordpress site for a friend but hit a bit of a snag and I'm not sure how to handle this. his old site is located in a directory /george so anyone who enters www.test.com is redirected to www.test.com/george The new site on my server does not use /george directory path. I need to know how I can redirect all requests coming to the /george path back to www.test.com Should I just do an html redirect on the 404 error page to send people back automatically to www.test.com or is there a way to do this via htaccess? help! thanks j
btw I tried this via .htaccess: Redirect 301 /dir/ http://www.example.com/newdir/ but it is not working. I'm using latest Debian/apache install with ISPConfig. My .htaccess file does not work in the root for some reason, it only works when it is in wp-admin directory.
