Mass 301s

[Kennelstore]

Hi All, im trying to find a way to do a mass list of 301s instead of just doing them individually, does anyone have any ideas or tips into how i can do this?

Presuming your product pages sit under a /products/ subfolder, you could use this code in your htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^products/(.*)$ /anotherdirectory/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Or to redirect all to the homepage:

RewriteRule ^products/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Obviously you can change the words "products" and "anotherdirectory" to whatever is applicable to you.

For more info on htaccess redirection you can read the Moz guide here.

Without seeing the site and proposed structure, it is a little awkward to say with certainty, but if you have a structure for the product pages that can be matched via a wildcard expression, then it is possible to write an .htaccess redirect for it - but most would probably opt to do this with the old page being redirected to the new page - a more straight forward procedure.

Just the products page

What are you trying to redirect? Is it every page in a site, or specific pages?
