I migrated from a Windows server to a Linux one and I am very new to htaccess. Also, I changed my permalinks structure from /year/month/post to /post . To make sure the old search engine links still worked I added the following line to the htaccess file which is working fine to redirect the old URLs to the new ones, but read on:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)$ http://www. keptlight .com/$3
Now, my year/month archives always point to the site root since /year/month/ are being stripped. For instance:
www. keptlight .com/2014/02/ orchis-is-coming-2/
is properly redirected to:
www. keptlight .com/orchis-is-coming-2/
But the monthly posts for a given month:
www. keptlight .com/2011/06/ or any other year/month is always redirected to:
www.keptlight.com
Is there a way to overcome this problem and properly display the monthly archives when only year/month/ follows the domain with no post title?
Thank you in advance.
