Hi, Freinds!
I have a big problem related to my SEO work. I’m working on my company site that was completely on WordPress. A couple of weeks ago our developer has transfer main site to HTML site and kept a blog to the same WordPress by transferring in new folder “/blog”.

Now, I’m facing big issues. I don’t have much knowledge regarding development and our developer are not taking this seriously.

The problem is I tried to redirect old blog URLs, which are getting huge organic clicks, to new blog URLs through WordPress redirect plugin but it is not working.

I want to know how can I redirect old URL to a new one.

URL Structured:

OLD URL: mysite.com/ctaegory/postname
NEW URL: mysite.com/blog/postname

Waiting for your solutions!

If I understand you correctly

Using .htaccess file write the following:

301 --- mysite.com/ctaegory/postname => mysite.com/blog/postname

RewriteRule ^ mysite.com/ctaegory/postname$ /mysite.com/blog/postname? [L, R = 301]

@rootJan 23.2019 — #Just use htaccess to serve up the URL, all you need is a simple rule to replace category with blog.

Not sure if this is correct but you just look at the request and if it has /category/ in it, replace with /blog/

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET /category/
 RewriteRule ^category/(.*) /blog/$1 [L,R=301]

@isoft110Jan 24.2019 — #^{^+} or you can install Simple 301 redirects plugin for WordPress it must work, and easy to use

@MujjiauthorJan 31.2019 — #@root#1600317 On other forums I got the same reply but it didn't work for me then I got another solution that work perfectly and that was

Redirect 301 www.mysite.com/category/post ww.mysite.com/blog/post

@MujjiauthorJan 31.2019 — #@F5Studio#1600296 You're right

I used this; Redirect 301 www.mysite.com/category/post ww.mysite.com/blog/post

It worked fine, Now all old URLs are redirecting properly to new URLs.

@MujjiauthorJan 31.2019 — #@isoft110#1600328 I have a redirection plugin installed but It's not working (or maybe I'm not familiar with this kind of redirect) for me in this case.

301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of the new references returned by the server, where possible. This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise.

The new permanent URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s).

If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.

 Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after
   receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents
   will erroneously change it into a GET request.[/quote]

A 301 is now touted as the best way of forcing the pages in the cached server in the search engine to update.

Now I figure that this has come about because Google have had a hand in this, a 301 as far as I am concerned need only be issued when your page moved SERVERS not somewhere on the same domain.

If you think of it as google don't want to pay their staff to do this work, they want the users to make it easier for their search engines to be updated at no cost or effort to them, now for a company, how much of a cost is that now a burden on when trying to solve problems that should REALY be down to GOOGLE to fixt and maintain their DNS's and databases.

So IMHO the REWROTE RULE is the MOST APPROPRIATE as the page has not gone to another domain has it?

The Bull S. of the claim that it scores you extra brownie points is not justification for the time and effort that a simple catch all rule to pull and serve that same content from the same server from a URI on the same domain.

Think about it, if their server does not know if the URI has changed and the content has moved to a different path on the server, then thats just fine because it is unaware of any change, so that means that any claim that the move would seriously affect your ranking is utter bull crap.

PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BUYING IN TO GOOGLE B*LL*CKS and make them do their job, employ people and not off load yet more responsibility on to people who are paying for services that really should be completely free.. (and before you do the, 'oh but it is free' , think again, think harder... NOTHING IS FREE)
