Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I did try that. Not sure why it isn't working but I think it has something to do with Tom's answer below. Heh. Thanks though Daniel!!

Wow thanks so much. This might be way over my head (I know very little about web development) but I'm going to talk to our devs about it. Thanks again!!

Hey Daniel. Thanks for your response - the only problem is that we already have /%postname% selected. It is working for mostly every blog entry except this one that I'm running into problems with. I'll show you the exact URL that's giving us the problem.

On google, it shows the URL as:

oursite.com/news?tag=business-2

Then it seems to be redirecting it to:

oursite.com/blog?tag=business-2

However, that site does not exist. It should be

http://oursite.com/category/business

I tried to literally 301 redirect both oursite.com/news?tag=business-2 and  http://oursite.com/category/business to  http://oursite.com/category/business but neither worked.

Thoughts?

I'm having an issue with 301 redirects:

Let's see if I can verbalize my thoughts on this one...

So we just recently moved our site to Wordpress. One of our new 301 commands is redirecting oursite.com/news to oursite.com/blog . However there are other links from our previous site that look like oursite.com/news/XYZ and the issue is that, because wordpress structures its links differently, that URL is not equivalent to oursite.com/blog/XYZ. Instead, it might look something more like oursite.com/blog/yaddayadda/XYZ or something. Does that make sense?

The issue is that when I find an old link of ours on google that looks something like "oursite.com/news/XYZ" or "oursite.com/news/ABC" it is automatically replacing "news" with "blog". When I try to go in manually and redirect anything that says "/news/XYZ" to "/blog/yaddayadda/XYZ" it still doesn't work. It still just replaces "news" with "blog."

Wow I realize that might not make sense to anyone but if it does - please advise!!

Thanks!!!!
