Wordpress old site to new site 301 redirection. WordPress
- SOLVED
I am looking for some help with wordpress redirection of old subdomain based URLs to new subfolder style URLs. I can give access to a test blog where it can be tested.
The old URL is like
http://blog.oursite.com
and new is http://www.oursite.com/blog
So all old permalinks should 301 redirect to new permalinks
The solution should also take care of https possibility in future, so I can change it to https instead of http.
Should be 10 minutes job for someone who is good with regex :)

This should work for redirecting from subdomain to subdirectory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} blog.oursite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://oursite.com/blog$1 [R=permanent,L]
For https redirection you will need to add [once you have SSL installed]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]

Hi Navjot. I already have a similar thing in place. I got a redirect loop with the above solution. If I give access, can you have a look?

Its still not working for me. Not redirecting. It does show canonical URLS ( Still doesn't redirect) when I try facebook debug tool but no luck otherwise.

Guys, none of solutions works for me. But I am sure they might work for other people, just not in my specific case. I will split the amount to whoever tried to help.

I tried it just now, creates a redirect loop.
