Redirect HELP! Please

i shut down wordpress.org website , relaunched website on business catalyst.  domain transfered, website looks good, i'm having hard time redirecting links old website new one.

 

i tried using url redirects feature in admin panel.  downloaded example spreadsheet, filled out , uploaded it.  noticed every "old url" created new folder in website, thought odd, i'm used using .htaccess.

 

the bottom line old urls aren't redirecting @ all.

 

for example:

 

one of old urls have been http://www.pdxhomevet.com/portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq/, have taken wordpress faq page site.  new url http://www.pdxhomevet.com/portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq.html

 

so, in csv filed uploaded, "old url" /portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq/ , "new url" /portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq.html

 

all did create new folder on site, not redirect new page.

 

help please!  i'll have switch shortly or we'll lose business.

 

thanks,

 

ryan

hi ryan, if have had folders created set incorectly. not create folders when set 301 redirects.

i can see example doing folders, not correct.

/portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq/

this folder, access page /portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq/index.html (or extension was) , in bc not need file extension @ all.

so in case should not setting 301 redirect @ all.

 

/portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq

same

/portland-mobile-veterinarian-faq

 

if remove file extension in bc.
