1. Open your .htaccess file that located inside your web root directory, and then add this following code into that file:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.openscriptsolution\.com [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.openscriptsolution.com/$1 [L,R=301]
   </IfModule>

2. Now when your visitors type http://openscriptsolution.com in their browser, then it will be automatically redirected it to the address: http://www.openscriptsolution.com.

Hopefully this will be helpful for you.

Here was the quote from the author’s website:

Simple 301 Redirects provides an easy method of redirecting requests to another page on your site or elsewhere on the web. It’s especially handy when you migrate a site to WordPress and can’t preserve your URL structure. By setting up 301 redirects from your old pages to your new pages, any incoming links will be seemlessly passed along, and their pagerank (or what-have-you) will be passed along with them.

The redirects work similar to Apache 301 redirects where you specify the path that you want to forward (e.g. “/about.htm”) and the full URL of the destination (e.g. “http://www.sitedomain.com/about/”.) This means that in addition to forwarding between paths on your site, you can also forward to external sites. So you might also use the plugin as a URL shortener (”/video/” could forward to your YouTube channel, for example.)

Hopefully this will be helpful for those of you who encountered the same problem while migrating from the old website to the new website which has the different URL structure.

Simply add this following code to your .htaccess file that located in your web root directory (adjust the URL with yours):

redirect 301 /old/old-permalink/ http://www.yourdomain/new-permalink

Be sure not to add “http://www.yourdomain” to the first part of the statement – just put the path from the top level of your site to the page. Also ensure that you leave a single space between these elements:

redirect 301 (the instruction that the page has moved)

/old/old-permalink/ (the original folder path and file name)

http://www.yourdomain/new-permalink/ (new path and file name)

Hopefully this will be helpful for you.

# END supercache

This is important in order this plugin will work properly. This has been tested and worked fine on WP Super Cache version 0.9.6.1.

1. First of all, create an .htaccess file inside your web root directory (if it does not exist before), and then copy this code to the top section of the file:

   1 2	# Force Register Globals Off ! php_flag register_globals off

2. Make sure that your register_globals setting now is off, by using the following code. Create a new .php file (for example: checkregisterglobals.php) and put this file inside your web root directory.

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

   <?php $checkregisterglobals = ini_get('register_globals'); if($checkregisterglobals == 1){ echo "Your register_globals is ON"; } else { echo "Your register_globals is OFF"; } ?>

   and then call this file from your browser, for example: http://www.yourdomain.com/checkregisterglobals.php, and it should be return an output as: Your register_globals is OFF.

If you want to change the opposite of that value, then change the code in .htaccess file as follow:

1
2

# Force Register Globals On !
php_flag register_globals on

WARNING: It is strongly not recommended you change or set this register_globals directive become On. You are responsible for the consequence caused by this setting..

When you activate Permalink feature from admin panel in Settings section for the very first time, then your WordPress will create an .htaccess file located on your web root directory (assuming this file does not already exist before). This .htaccess file contains of the code as you can see below:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /yourdomainnamehere/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /yourdomainnamehere/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Please note that yourdomainhere is the name of your domain.

When you deactivate this Permalink feature, then this .htaccess file would not be removed, but the main code above would be removed. It becomes like this:

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

This has been tested in WordPress version 2.8.4.
