    Default Why isn't this redirect working?

    Redirect 301 /reviews/pokerstars.html http://www.beatnolimit.com/poker-site-reviews/pokerstars-review

    This redirect fails on every single one of my review pages. I can't figure out what's wrong with it for the life of me. Every other redirect works fine.

    It keeps screwing up and sending people to this address:

    http://www.beatnolimit.com/poker-site-reviewspokerstars.html

    It's not adding that little slash at the end of the word "reviews" and before the word "pokerstars"

    Are you using redirection? If so I highly advise not - I had over 200 just dissapear one day and it was a nightmare redoing it all.

    MJ, what happened exactly?

    I'm redirecting every page on the site because I moved from a static html site to wordpress. It's been a pain but I believe that's the only way to do it.

    (and from here on out are the rest of the redirects.

    Here is a related post I made somewhere else. The guy has great responses but it's over my head. I'm at the point where I'll pay someone or write a batch of articles for free if anyone can help me get this htaccess working and looking good.

    Funky 301 problem

    I think you should take a look at this plugin:
    Redirection - Manage 301 redirections without modifying Apache | Urban Giraffe

    I used it on one of my sites because I didn't know anything very much about .htacces at the time, and now I have grown quite fond of it.

    I could probably help you change your .htaccess, but I think you should use the plugin instead, so you aren't dependent on someone else.
