mod_rewrite help needed - how to substitute a URL?

Posted by mrzippy, 08-01-2008, 02:22 PM

Hello, I have a customer who has a wordpress blog with a URL like this: http://www.domain.com/blog/post123.html She wants to change the URL to this: http://www.domain.com/post123.html It is no problem to relocate the wordpress software, but I'm unsure how to handle existing incoming links. I'd like to use mod_rewrite to do this, but everything I've tried produces an error 500. Does anyone know how to do the mod_rewrite for this?

Assuming you're removing the old directory altogether, something like this should handle the old links: If you still get 500 errors check the log - perhaps you have some general issue with mod_rewrite?
