.htaccess question

This is not vBSEO related, but had a question regarding .htaccess files.

I'm moving my main blog from mysite.com/blog/article-title/year/month/day to mysite.com/article-title/year/month/day

Is there a way to do a catch-all .htaccess so that all my URLs are redirected to the new URLs?

Hi,

This should work.

RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://mysite.com/1$ [L,R=301]

You will clearly need to change the mysite.com bit for your own domain and this needs to be placed just below the RewriteEngine On

Great. Thanks! I'll give it a try.

No luck. I just moved my site and not having luck with that rewrite. Here are the contents of my .htaccess.

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://mysite.com/1$ [L,R=301]

It just 404's. (BTW, my domain is in the actual .htaccess file rewrite).

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

The above should be changed to

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) http://mysite.com/1$ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
