Hello, I’m switching a blog from a ColdFusion server to an Apache server but keeping the same domain name. On the ColdFusion server, the blog was powered by BlogCFC and each post had a friendly URL (blogs.digitalprimates.net/dpnews/index.cfm/2008/2/8/Flex-Camp-Chicago-presentations) and a dynamic URL (blogs.digitalprimates.net/dpnews/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=49A80088-A261-9EB1-429A25D0FEF53500), both of which were cached in Google search results. In the new blog, each post will have a URL in the following format: digitalprimates.net/news/2008/2/8/flex-camp-chicago-presentations
On the new web server I’m switching to, the blog will be using Wordpress. I’ve imported all of the old blog posts to Wordpress and was able to successfully rewrite the user friendly permalinks from the old using the following .htaccess rewrites:
RewriteRule ^dpnews/index.cfm/2008/2/8/Flex-Camp-Chicago-presentations$ http://digitalprimates.net/news/2008/2/8/flex-camp-chicago-presentations
I’m wondering if its possible to rewrite the old dynamic permalinks (blogs.digitalprimates.net/dpnews/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=49A80088-A261-9EB1-429A25D0FEF53500) to their corresponding links in the wordpress blog. Can this be done through .htaccess? If not does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this problem. Many of these blog posts have a large number of permalinks to these dynamic URLs and I really want to try and keep them intact. Thanks in advance for any help!!
