docteurg

Thanks to you both …. I think that will accomplish my goal.

I appreciate your suggestion RockyMtnHi. I think I need to explain what I’m wanting to do.

I’ve replaced a website that existed for about 5 years and was well-indexed by search engines with a WordPress-based website.

I want to make replacement web pages for those pages that were indexed by a search engine. For example, there is a page called https://docteurg.com/MeetEstelle.html

Yes, the information is covered in my ABOUT page in the WordPress site, but anyone who uses Google gets the old page as a link and tries to click on it resulting in a 404 Not Found message.

There are other pages from the web site that will turn up if certain key words are Googled, and I want to put a page back up to the same link so people can go to it.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I can use the .PHP extension and get the results I want.

meanwhile, I’ve set up a mirror of the older site on a .NET domain so the information is still out there — it just won’t show up on the search engines for a little while.

Thanks for your time and effort.

Thanks for the reply thebettertwin. I tried your suggestion and a couple of variations without success.

the actual name of the website is docteurg.com and the page I want to add (and there will be several more after this) is MeetEstelle.html

I made a folder called MeetEstelle and changed the name of MeetEstelle.html to index.html

I put the folder in the root directory with no result. Then I moved it into public_html with no result.

I’ll make a further explanation of what I’m trying to accomplish in the next post to RockyMtnHi in case you see something there that migh suggest a solution.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
