Block #1 Block #2 if( ! Stupid WordPress Tricks. One of the most popular articles here at Perishable Press is my January 2005 post, Stupid htaccess Tricks.

I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get those old URLs to forward to WordPress but in the end it wasn’t all that difficult. The easiest was the monthly archive. It used to be “/archive/year_month.html” so I just added a line in the .htaccess to change it to “/archives/year/month” and I was done. RewriteRule ^archive/([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2}).html$ /index.php?
