cindy959 said:

hello

one of my old websites was used as a forum, I deleted all the old content and installed wordpress on the root domain.

I made new content on the wordpress site, and now I want to redirect some of the old forum urls to the new content (because of backlinks)

how can I redirect : homepage/vb/showthread.php?t=203

to homepage/example-post

??

please help I've been googling all day with no luck, I have no knowledge about php or scripting. but I know how to fix or edit the files on my site.

thanks!!

You'd have to use regular expressions then. Try putting a star at the end of the 'Source URL'.
