Have you ever created a new website for a client and needed to forward old url pages to their new urls, in order to update google and the other search engines.
www.your_website.com/your_old_page.html
to
www.your_website.com/your_new_page.html
Based on the above information, edit the .htaccess file add the following:
redirect 301 /your_old_page.html http://www.your_website.com/your_new_page.htmlThings to note are the old page doesn't need to be the full url address, but the new page does.
Here is another example which forwards the whole contents of a folder to a new url.
www.your_website.com/forum/
to
www.your_website.com/blog/
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*) http://www.your_website.com/blog/ [R=301,L]
