How to move my blog from subdomain to subfolder?

[Dan-Petrovic]

Found this one:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.mysite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]

Yup, that will do the job of relocation, but it does not 301 the link and therefore you will not transfer link juice.

Would you mind posting or messaging me the correct script?  It would be a great help, thanks.

Spencer, did you get this taken care of off-line, or is this question still open?

It will if you add r=301 to the last line like so:

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

[MarloSchneider]

We solved it, our web programmer wrote a program to scrape all of our posts and turn them into a format that imported into wordpress.  As far as the redirects we kept the page titles the same and did a sitewide 301 that sent them from blog.example.com to example.com/blog/

Although I would still like to grab Richard's php script for doing this in a more efficient manner in the future.

This thread is actually four years old, and the original poster mentioned that the problem was solved so no worries! You might want to look at more recent questions, as SEO advice can change as the search engines change.

Hi Keri.

You're right! I am not a professional in the matter and I am trying to catch up little by little.

Thanks for your advice!
