Hi guys I have a site on wordpress...

I need to create a .htaccess file to do a 301 redirect ONLY of my homepage, all other pages I have must remain active in the old site:

homepage.com >>>>> newsite.com
homepage.com/page1 >>>>> homepage.com/page1
homepage.com/page2 >>>>> homepage.com/page2

what code should I use?



thanks

Hey buddy,
this will do the trick:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.newsite.com [R=301,L]

P.S.
replace: 'newsite.com' with your newer site to redirect to
good luck

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.newsite.com [R=301,L]

with this code the other pages on the site are inactive!:

homepage.com >>>>> newsite.com
homepage.com/page1 >>>>> NOT FOUND!

Click to expand...

Are u sure?
it works fine for me.
here take a look:
domain: search-walla.tk -> esek2all.co.il
internal page: search-walla.tk/money/ -> search-walla.tk/money/

it works fine...

Or you could just paste this in your header.php

Code:

<?php if(is_home()){ echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=HTTP://YOURSITE.com">' ; } ?>
