Multiple URLs to Single Page

  • I am creating a WordPress site to take over from our existing website that was made I’m WebPlus. The new site is still under developement so can be found at https://www.23rdbromleyscouts.org/wordpress for the moment.

    The pages on the existing site have URLs which end in .html but the new WordPress site won’t. I am wondering if there is a way for me to set the old URLs to direct to the relevant page on the new site. I have had a good look around but can’t for the life of me work out how it might be possible.

    For example:
    https://www.23rdbromleyscouts.org/events.html (Existing Site) to link to:
    https://www.23rdbromleyscouts.org/events (New site)

    There are also a number of individual photo gallery pages on the existing site,(e.g. https://www.23rdbromleyscouts.org/jackpetchey2016.html) but going forward the new site will have just a photo gallery page for each year. So I was hoping to redirect any Existing URLs to the relevant photo gallery page in the new site.

    Any advice on how I might be able to achieve the above would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
    David

    There are several ways to do this, if you have access to your HTTP servers configs, or .htaccess file you can have the server redirect (googling 301 redirects will bring back how to do this for your platform) the URLs. This is the most efficient method, however it comes with a very small amount of rick, if you get it wrong you may cause your site to show an error.

    A safer and easier way is to use a plugin, there are several good ones include redirection and simple 301 redirects. Both can be found in the plugins section.
