Thank you for the offer. I think there was only one redirect, but it's not something anyone should be looking for now that it is out of the cached versions of my pages. I am grateful for this information though because I didn't know what I was doing was not working. .-= Brad Harmon´s last blog ..<a href="http://bradleyaharmon.com/2009/12/guess-who-is-a-member-of-the-famous-bloggers-club/" rel="nofollow">Guess Who’s a Member of the Famous Bloggers Club</a> =-.

If it's not working give me the full old url and the full new url and I'll create the code for you, paste it into a text file and explain how to add it to your .htaccess. You don't really want your readers ending up on a 404 :) Cheers, Martin. Try out your re-directs to see if they’re working – i.e. type in your old url and see where you end up.

This blog's on Hostgator and doing the redirects through the cPanel redirections module did not work. When I queried it with Hostgator their response was that WordPress itself was processing the redirect (in my case to my 404 page, because I was entering the old URL) before the redirects added via the interface could do their stuff. That's why I ended up having to do them manually. I was getting super frustrated at one point but, actually, the re-direct code is so simple that I ended up being happier doing it that way. Cheers, Martin. Brad, hi,
