you'll want redirect urls through .htaccess file

when change urls in .htaccess file similar if you're on apache: (don't copy this, familiarity)


code: select all

rewriteengine on

rewritecond %{the_request} ^[a-z]{3,9}\ /index\.html

rewriterule ^index\.html$ http://www.mysite.com/ [r=301,l]

redirectmatch permanent ^/old-web-page.html$ http://www.mysite.com/new-web-page.html



do search on google permanent redirect , you'll find tutes taking care of 301 redirects.
