@markrh,

Thanks Mark. I think I will go for htaccess redirects itself.

@markrh,

Yes, I was aware of the htaccess redirects but I was skeptical whether it would affect the site loading speed in any way. Do you think htaccess file can handle 100s of redirects without causing any issue? I mean, will it affect the site loading speed or server load or anything?

@markrh,

404 solution is not applicable I guess. The goal is to redirect say 100 pages of a 1500 page website to its equivalent wordpress page/post (all within the same domain name).

@kartiks16

I just tried Simple 301 Redirects plugin and it’s not working. But I am not sure if it’s because of Cloudflare (will wait and check if it’s working).

Thanks for the quick response.

I’ve already tried that plugin and it appears like it can’t handle non-WordPress redirects. Anyway, I’m waiting for a response from their support team as well. Any other plugin/solution that you can think of?

Never mind..

I found the solution…

I rewrited the htaccess file by adding the following codes:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^minterest.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.minterest.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/exampledirectory
RewriteRule (.*)$ https://www.minterest.org/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Hi,

Sorry for the delay…

But even that didn’t work.. ??

I deactivated ALL plugins and deleted CF7 and reinstalled… it’s showing the same error.

The other active plugins are:

Digg Digg, Disqus, Genesis (eNews Extended, Simple Edits, SImple Hooks), Jetpack, List.ly, Ninja Forms (as an alternative to Contact Form 7), Price Table, SImple Social Icons, W3 Total Cache, Yoast SEO, WordPress Related Posts, and WP touch.

CLOSED

Update: It works!

Lastly, while designed with Genesis in mind, there is nothing in the plugin that would prevent it from functioning on a non-Genesis site.

Okay, that’s a valid point too….

Let me rethink… Appreciate that bro. ??

Okay, I got it..

Duplicate content is my concern too.. Other option would be to create a clone site at example.in and noindex that..

Thanks a ton for your reply! ??

But.. I dont want to redirect example.in to example.com.

Because I want pages to be accessed using both example.com and example.in without any redirection.

So was wondering about how to noindex one of them since both domains point to the same folder.

Hi @esmi,

No, I didn’t try Cloudflare… the interesting thing is.. I was already using Google CDN at that time (Google PageSpeed Service)… but had to disable it because last time according to HostGator the issue was caused by Google CDN.

Yes @nancie,

I tried this on a test blog and I was able to browse the website as usual… The example.com/wp-login.php address retruned a 404 error as expected..

but was wondering whether I missed something.. because almost all tutorials were recommending using some plugins or tweaking .htaccess file. So I was confused whether it’s the perfect solution or not.
