I’m having a weird redirection issue and can’t figure out how to solve it. I installed my WordPress in a directory (called /Cafe/ ) for my KatsCafe.org website and all the posts are being redirected just fine. But a huge number of my images are messed up. They won’t redirect without the /Cafe/ in the URL, while none of my older URLs for images included a directory. My site is graphic/image heavy and many of them show up in Google Image searches so I am losing a lot of traffic over this.
I can’t figure out how to redirect from two separate file paths to the current one.
My oldest file path was from when I installed WordPress in the root directory with a previous host, so image from that installation would have the file path:
Http://katscafe.org/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
to the current image file path, which would be:
Http://katscafe.org/Cafe/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
I have another less important redirection I am having a few errors from as well, stemming from the short while I tried out a multisite option (silly me, I thought I would enjoy not having to handle updates, etc … but I’m entirely too OCD to enjoy that, LOL). Since that meant that my files were in a multi-site directory listing, the file path would have been:
Http://katscafe.org/files/year/month/name-of-file
and still needs to forward to the current image file path, which again, is:
Http://katscafe.org/Cafe/wp-content/uploads/year/month/name-of-file
I’m not sure if I am overlooking an obvious tool that can help me figure this out, but every tool I’ve found involves post redirection, not a file path type of redirection. And even then I’m not entirely sure of my ability to figure it out completely.
I would be forever grateful for any help with this! Thanks so much!
