simple rewrite .html to wordpress pretty permalink

[seventelematics Profile]

Hi

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else, but I have spent a long time searching.
We have purchased ISAPI Rewrite 3 and successfully used it to remove index.php from our wordpress permalinks with the following .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Now we need to implement a number of 301 redirects as the wordpress site has replaced a site made up of .html & .php pages.

For example

http://www.seventelematics.co.uk/index.html needs to redirect to http://www.seventelematics.co.uk

http://www.seventelematics.co.uk/transcan-2-ext.php needs to redirect to http://www.seventelematics.co.uk/produc ... 2-trailer/

If someone could reply with the code to add to our .htaccess file for the above examples, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Jonathan

Hello, Jonathan

Here are the redirect rules for you:

RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^transcan-2-ext\.php$ /products/temperature-data-loggers/transcan-2-trailer/ [NC,R=301,L]

How many rules are you going to have? If there are quite a lot of them (150 and more), you may consider using mapfiles to make them work faster.

Thanks Anton, this worked perfectly and allowed me to workout the others. I will probably have around 20 when finished so won't need to use mapfiles.
