    Current site is on Enfold Theme. My previous site has many pages which end in .html and some links still take people there. I am getting some 404 errors in my logs which I’d like to fix by redirection. I have tried the Redirection plugin, .htaccess changes and cpanel redirects none of which work. The tech support from the hosting company re: cpanel said WordPress doesn’t work well with redirects. Any suggestions on how to redirect the old .html pages to my new wordpress pages? thanks -Ken

    Hi Ken!

    I don’t see any drawbacks of using .htaccess, have you tried with a plugin? like this one for example: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/

    Cheers!

    I’ve tried plugins, but they haven’t worked; thought I’d give the one you suggested a try, can’t hurt….and it works!! Thank you very much!
