Redirect wordpress from /%post_id%/%postname%/ to /blog/%postname%/

Hi what is the code to redirect wordpress blog from site.com/%post_id%/%postname%/   to site.com/blog/%postname%/ We are moving the site to a new server and new url structure.

Thanks in advance

First off, I would imagine you need your wordpress installation to be inside a /blog/ directory on your server, unless you can do some fancy redirect.

Secondly, in order to change the URL structure from post id / post name. You can do this in your wordpress settings.

Go to -> Settings -> Permalinks.

You will need to select a custom structure, something like
/%postname%/

or if you wish to keep hold of the ID 
/%postname%-%post_id%/

Then save your settings.

Hopefully that does the trick.

Cheers

Hi Tim, thanks for your help.

Yes wordpress will be installed in a folder /blog/

So it should be quite simple to do this redirect!
