The PHP code worked great but I am having some serious issues with the ASP code for another site. When applied to the default.asp page I get the following error, Microsoft VBScript compilation error ‘800a0400’. So I removed the code so the site will work.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

@Shannon – SKS Designs: I suggest you install Scott Yang’s Permalink Redirect plug-in. I use it on my blog and it works like a charm 😉

I am bringing in in a new website and plan on setting up 301 redirects in the .htaccess file.

Do I need to keep the OLD .html pages on the server?

Currently permalink: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
Future permalink: /%postname%

So, I want to remove the year and month from all posts and well as the .html ending.

Can someone help me?

Unlike other sites I found, your article is concise, less words and straight to the point.

Some readers might find this helpful, if your launching a new website or blog, plan from the beginning if you’re going to use the root of your website or if you’re going to use a subfolder. I installed my blog (wordpress) to a subfolder, and eventually changed my mind and want to move my blog to the root directory. Fortunately there is this URL redirection thing.

Now I can finally use my main domain without typing any additional subfolders.

Nice article thank you!

Google is treating my main page as “/” and also as “default.asp”

I mean when I log in to webmaster tools, google is saying that I have a duplicate content on two pages and pages are “/” and “default.asp”

Can anyone tell me why is it doing so?

I recommend using the PHP direct. Much cleaner. No .htaccess files to deal with, plus it’s a pitch and paste coding task. Redirect 100% better.

Thanks for the tips, Daniel.

Hey guess what i found out : Did you know that you can manually choose the domain page by going to googles webmaster page and chose the settings tab.

Not only will it be faster because you don’t have to start PHP every time someone enters or visit your blog or site with the “wrong” canonical name.

Code-level redirection is necessary only if it is application specific, or not as permanent.

What is the code if you are going the opposite direction–redirecting from the www domain name to the non-www domain name?

Also, I assume the code is placed at the top of every page before the and tags. Is this correct?

However did anyone have any experience with trailing slashes at the end of subdirectory on your domain. For instance:
domain.com/folder and
domain.com/folder/
how are these treated? I saw some of people having problems with that and both pages indexed. any htaccess ideas on that?

]]> By: Tricia https://dailyblogtips.com/how-to-setup-a-301-redirect/#comment-80331 Sat, 04 Aug 2007 00:48:59 +0000 https://dailyblogtips.com/how-to-setup-a-301-redirect/#comment-80331 I’m using a 301 redirect on my main blog feverishthoughts.com to include the www. The problem is that I have a few other blogs on this domain that I put in directories ie feverishthoughts.com/oddplanet. I want the directory blogs to have urls that do not contain the www because they have higher PR without the www in their urls, yet the main domain has a higher PR with the www in it’s url.

So I’ve been using the nowww plugin on my directory blogs to keep the www out of the urls. I suspect this might actually be causing a bit of a problem on a few of the blogs because now they occasionally have the primary domain thewebfiles in their url as well if it’s accessed without a trailing slash. for example the Odd Planet blog sometimes converts it’s urls to feverishthoughts.thewebfiles.com/oddplanet

I’d like to use an htaccess redirect to keep the www out my directory urls so I could avoid using the plugin. I’ve also read that the plugin might be using more cpu resource in my account and I’ve just had a terrible experience with web hosts and cpu resource over use so I want to trim down.

Do you have any idea what htaccess redirect I might use to solve my problem?

The easiest option now is just to go to Google Webmaster tools, verify your blog and choose a “Preferred Domain”, that way Google at least will know what version it should use.

For one, it’s a lot easier and quicker to type in the non “www” and if I’m going to submit my sites to hundreds of directories, it can save a lot of time.

So, I personally go with non “www.” 🙂
