moved to wordpress from joomla

  • Hey guys. I have been using joomla for years. Now i am on the verge of switching to wordpress, which i have realised is much better for blogs. I have the wordpress blog set up etc, but the thing is i dont want to lose page rankings etc. I have over 1,000 unique articles. My site is pretty busy as well.

    How would i do a 301 redirect?

    The Joomla url for all the articles are as follows https://www.example.com/pspnews/articletitle/

    Ok and for the permalink in the wordpress im going to use the one https://www.example.com/dd/mm/yy/articletitle/

    I have no idea about 301 redirects in .htaccess but i really want to get my move going to wordpress as soon as possible. Somehow i would have to get all urls redirected with the date of the article in the URL.

    If anyone can help me, i’d really appreciate it.

    Regards

  • “But that’s the thing – if he changed the permalinks so that they’re by postname…”

    We agree then, the permalink should remain as:

    https://www.mysites.com/pspnews/%postname%/

    Right, dim – we agree ?? AT least that solution for the initial question about losing rank. If he *does* change the URL, then yes, he’ll lose rank. But if he doesn’t care about rank, and wants the new format, then yes, he’ll need .htaccess to do a 301 redirect.
