I am not great with htaccess stuff, but it is my understading that this plugin with the old permalinks option enabled can help you out

H Andy, a couple of months ago I moved my blog from "manukhanna.com/blog" to "manukhanna.com". I want to redirect all pages in the /blog folder to the blog home page (manukhanna.com). Currently I have the following in my htaccess:

[code]RedirectPermanent ^/blog/$1 http://manukhanna.com/index...[/code]

This isn't solving the purpose. Would be great if you could help me out.

thanks.

Well I just got hit by it again.

It seems Wordpress has a nasty habit of overwriting its own .htaccess file even if you don't make changes to any plugins

You aren't alone. I've done this...let's just say "before" and not how many times. ;-) Good for you for catching it so soon.

One thing I HATE is when I make a mizzed spelling in the title and post slug. I can fix it easily in the title, but the post slug, well, after it's been linked to by a few hundred folks, it's hard to change that, but redirect definitely helps. Wish I could do that on WordPress.com blogs.

I did something similar when I pulled down a post after a couple of hours because I thought it really sucked. I wrote it when I was tired. I got Google hits for a couple of weeks after that. Though my traffic was less.
