I need 301 redirection rule for migrating old CMS to WordPress.
On old CMS I have URL structure like this:
I wish is to move my site to WordPress and to have all old (or most) URLs with 301 redirect to new pages.
Category url on old CMS:
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/page/2/
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/page/2/
Post urls on old CMS.
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/some-post-name.jpg.html
and one add-on page for every post like:
www.my-site-name.com/full-size/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/some-post-name.jpg-some-words-here.html
Category url on WordPress:
I have for example "category_url" as category base, also I wish to remove "-some-category-suffix" from category, and subcategory (if any).
For category URLs to:
add "category_url/" after domain name
remove "-some-category-suffix" from category, and any subcategories
to redirect to URL like this:
www.my-site-name.com/category_url/category-name/
www.my-site-name.com/category_url/category-name/page/2/
Post urls on WordPress.
My permalink structure is "category-url/%category%/%postname%.html". Please note difference between category base "category_url" and post base "category-url".
For post page to:
remove "-some-category-suffix" from category, and any subcategories
rename ".jpg.html" to ".html"
to redirect to URL like this:
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html
For post add-on page to:
remove "-some-category-suffix" from category, and any subcategories
rename "full-size" to "category-url"
rename ".jpg-" to ".html-?"
remove ending ".html" (after "-some-words-here")
to redirect to URL like this:
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html-?some-words-here
Summary.
Category from:
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/
to:
www.my-site-name.com/category_url/category-name/
Post from:
www.my-site-name.com/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/some-post-name.jpg.html
to:
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html
Post add-on page from:
www.my-site-name.com/full-size/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name-some-category-suffix/some-post-name.jpg-some-words-here.html
to:
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html-?some-words-here
Any help would be great, if rewrite rules are not possible for all URL types than please for some of them.
I tried this:
#For post page URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)-some-category-suffix(.*).jpg.html(.*)$ /category-url/$1$2.html$3 [L,R=301]
#For post add-on page URLs
RewriteRule ^full-size/(.*)-some-category-suffix(.*).jpg-(.*).html(.*)$ category-url/$1$2.html-?$3$4 [L,R=301]
#Category URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)-some-category-suffix(.*)$ /category_url/$1$2 [L,R=301]
It works, if there is just one category level, it removes just last "-some-category-suffix".
Output examples
For post pages
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html
or for post add on page
www.my-site-name.com/category-url/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name/some-post-name.html-?some-words-here
or for category
www.my-site-name.com/category_url/category-name-some-category-suffix/subcategory-name/
I need little tweak of it to remove all instance of "-some-category-suffix" if more than one in URL.
If you can fix that and make other rules that would be nice.
Any advice, help?
