How to Redirect all inactive Feed to a specific Wordpress page

[Trigun]

Hi Guys,

I've been doing much cleaning on my blog lately and deleted numerous categories including their posts with low quality content.

After deleting the categories, Google Webmaster Tools is reporting some 404 errors about the RSS Feeds for the deleted categories.

I've created a 404.php file inside my theme and placed the following code

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/My404Page/", true, 301);
exit();
?>

this have catched all 404 errors and redirected them to the specific page. Unfortunately, it could not catch the inactive feed urls.  Is there a way to do this so that all inactive feeds will be redirected to my 404 page?

Thanks in advance....

Can't you give the urls of your live site?

It should be as simple as:

RedirectMatch 301 /lifestyle/feed http://www.newsite.com/location-of-new-feed

Wasn't your feed (also) available on the url that is displayed in Google webmaster tools?

Hi Yannick,

Yes I have access to .htaccess

Here are some sample format of the category feeds:

http://www.mysite.com/category/lifestyle/feed

http://www.mysite.com/category/off-beat/feed

but Google webmaster tools report the broken feeds as

http://www.mysite.com/lifestyle/feed

http://www.mysite.com/off-beat/feed

not sure why it removed the "category" in the url.

Thanks in advance...

Do you have access to a .htacces / can you create one? And do you know the feed url's? (Can you give me their format?)

A 301 redirect on a 404 page is not the way to do it If you answer my Q's I'll help you with the rest
