Migrating site to WordPress

  • I am migrating a site and some of the pages are named mysite.com/financial_terms.htm is there a way to keep these page names in tact? I believe WP only likes to use hyphens between words.

  • Hi

    You can set up Apache redirects to do a 301 redirect translation from mysite.com/financial_terms.htm to what the WordPress permalink would normally be, mysite.com/financial-terms/

    this to use Apache mod rewrite in the .htaccess file – Google for details

    This is the format for a 301 redirect in .htaccess; one space between the old and new URLs:

    Redirect 301 mysite.com/financial_terms.htm  https://mysite.com/financial-terms/

    Put redirects before any mod rewrite block that WP uses for permalinks.
