      Thanks for the feedbacks.  I tried the above code.  I also tried a few at the website above and did not have any luck.  Just to confirm what I am trying to do......Take a page like www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html.  If someone types in www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g I want it to go to www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html so that they do not get a blank page.  It was happening on my old site, but not having the same luck with wordpress.  Thanks again!

        The code above will do the opposite.

        domain.com/page.html will become domains.com/page

        Did you test for that? Usually this is how people prefer their URLs to be, and if they type in the .html, they'll still get to the page.

            Yes.  I am not getting anything on www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g

            I don't really care which way the rule goes just as long as when they put in either url they get something.

            Here is the code incase I typo'd something.

            <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.).html\ HTTP/
            RewriteRule .
            http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/html/%1 [R=301,L]
            RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.)\ HTTP/
            RewriteRule .
            %1.html [L]</ifmodule>

              don't put your URL in for line 4, keep it as "localhost" like in the example.

                That is what I originally had.  I put it back.

                <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
                RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.).html\ HTTP/
                RewriteRule .
                http://localhost/html/%1 [R=301,L]
                RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /html/(.)\ HTTP/
                RewriteRule .
                %1.html [L]</ifmodule>

                Try clicking on www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g and you will see what happens.  Thanks,

                        Pages load correct at: http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html

                        And do not load at: http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g

                        So you need to Redirect http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g TO http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html

                        You can do this with the line of code in .htaccess

                        Redirect 301 /kolea-rentals/9g http://www.waikoloavacationrentals.com/kolea-rentals/9g.html

                        Let us know if that works?

                        You can also try the redirect plugin, although personally I prefer using .htaccess for redirects
