    I am going to assume a few things here. Your redirects were made in your .htaccess files either at your web root &/or your WP directory. What you need to do for the

    RewriteRule STUFFHERE [L]

    Is add [L,R=301] to the redirect rule. R=301 tells it that it’s a permanent redirect instead of a temporary one.

    Next, you might need to regenerate a new sitemap.xml. That will be a file that is sitting at your directory root. There are plenty of sites that will help you in generating one. Next you would need to log into Googles Webmaster tools(hopefully you already have this setup) click on your site and then on the left side where the navigation pane is, i believe it’s under crawl -> sitemap. tell google to read your new one. This might help in removing the old pages from googles index. You might need to do this process for the old site as well, but use the new sitemap for it.

    My second assumption is that you have no rewriterules setup in a .htaccess file. If that’s the case, let me know and then i’ll try to help you out with that. ??
