Hi,

I need to redirect entries from one template to another.

For example:
http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/main/what-to-buy-fall-2008-gap/

to:
http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive/what-to-buy-fall-2008-gap/

Is there an easy way to do this to entries without having to do 301 redirects for every entry?

Thanks

There are wildcard expressions that can be used in .htaccess that seem as if should do it, but I’ve never been able to make it work that far down the URL. I’m not exactly fluent in that stuff anyway.

The only thing I can think of as a short-term fix would be HTML redirects which will only keep the main group URLs “valid” as far as search engines are concerned. I don’t imagine you’d find that acceptable.

They are called “regular expressions”, and while not exactly rocket science, they can be quite tricky at times. There are a large number of tutorials out there, dealing with such rewrite issues.

If anyone’s interested in learning about Regex then a really really good site which takes you through nearly everything you will ever need to know is :

Try this in your .htaccess:

# Permanent redirect, mapping pages in one directory to those in another
Redirect 301 /main <a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive">http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/archive</a>

Thanks,

is there anyway to just do entries? Our main template group holds our primary index file and odds and ends of other files, so I’m hesitant to use such a broad solution.

Thanks everyone for your suggestion up to this point
