Advanced 301 Redirects

[RickyShockley]

Hi all!

I'm moving a blog from a subdomain to a folder on my root domain and want to make sure I am properly implementing 301's. Is there a code or method for making specific pages 301 to the corresponding new URL without having to manually 301 each?

For example, a current blog may exist at blog.website.com/3-tips-for-selling-your-home and, since we are moving the blog, will now exist at website.com/3-tips-for-selling-your-home. We obviously want to implement 301's to ensure any link equity carries over to the new url.

Anyone know how to implement these in scale to without having to set up each manually?

Thanks!

This should do it:

#begin redirect

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.domain.com

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/subfolder/$1 [R=301]

#end redirect

Regex isn't the most intuitive thing in the world, but it's a necessary evil sometimes. Here's a nice little tool to help when you have to use it: http://regex101.com/

I've been using regexpal for a while. I think I like regex101 better.
