Advanced mod_rewrite permalink preservation

  • I’m moving my blog to a new server, and I’ve decided to pull it out of its /blog/ directory to the root.

    In doing so, however, I’m going to lose all of my permalinks (and with it a ton of people who have linked to that structure. Everything after /blog/ is staying the same; so I attempted a rewriterule as such:

    RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*)$ /$1 [L]

    But it doesn’t solve the issue since the original wordpress permalink structure is most likely interfering with it. What do I need to do in .htaccess to get my permalinks working while moving my blog software down one directory?

    Try RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*)$ /$1 [R,L] and make sure that you put it in the .htaccess above the WordPress rules, not after them. Rules are processed top to bottom, obviously.

    Nope, that doesn’t seem to work either. I just get a 404 page.
