      I need to redirection every page of my website to a new url of another site I've made.

      I intend to add:"Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html"I will use the 301 per page to redirect every page of my site, but I'm confused that if I add:"Redirect 301 / http://mt-example.com/" it will redirect all of my pages to the homepage and ignore the URLs i have separately mentioned for redirection.Please guide me.

        I do not quite understand your question .. perhaps because I use the translator google..ja ja ..!!
        Sorry but my English is not very good ..
        the most important thing to do 301 redirects is them each separately to the new page of the new site
        in case you have some pages of the old site that does not correspond to the new site, you should try to make a page the most relevant and similar to the old page

        Cheers!!

          Hey Nighat,

          If you're on Wordpress, you can use this plugin. I would suggest you to assign this talk to your developer if you're doing this first time because this can create lots of problems for your site if not done correctly.

          Please refer to these resources for better and clear understanding of each phase:

          Hope this helps!

            Your second example will work for the homepage only really. I think the problem here is the order and if you're going to use that rewrite, use it last in the file. The problem with this type of redirect is that if you use it early, what will typically happen is it will redirect the domain but then create a broken link like olddomain.com/abc redirects and becomes newdomain.comabc creating a broken url.

              Richard is correct. Redirects are handled in the htaccess file in the order in which they are presented. Put your most specific redirects first, your least specific redirects last.

              • How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.

              • I've got duplicate pages. For example, blog/page/2 is the same as author/admin/page/2\. Is this something I should just ignore, or should I create the author/admin/page2 and then 301 redirect?
