technical question re: websites

Disabled

Is there any convenient way to do a mass-redirect on various URLs? Basically, I want to simplify the directory structure of my site, such that everything which used to be swantower.com/marie/X becomes swantower.com/X. But people may have bookmarked particular links, and I’d like them to be automatically redirected when they try the old URL. What I don’t know is whether there’s any simple method for achieving this. Help?

    Depends on your server setup; with Apache httpd, this would be a fairly simple one-liner using RedirectMatch.

    Untested:
    RedirectMatch permanent /marie(/.*) https://www.swantower.com$1

      Yup, this is the way to do it. However, depending on your hosting company, it may be difficult to convince them to do this for you.
