In my case I migrated from a custom blog to WordPress. My old one used a GET string in the URL to define which post to load and now I’d like to redirect one and maybe others to their WordPress counterparts.

\nUsing %{QUERY_STRING} in some mod_rewrite mojo might get the job done, but a) mod_rewrite makes my brain melt and b) There is zero reason the server should compare every request looking for something going to the WordPress index page alone.<\/p>\n
This will need to be placed at the top of the index.php file used by WordPress. The “301” at the end of the header()<\/em> function is the HTTP status “moved permanently”. This example is unique to this site but you should be able to define your own from it if you have a similar need.<\/p>\n \t\tcase \"34\": \tendswitch; In my case I migrated from a custom blog to WordPress.
