# Specific URL/redirect?

 * I’ve done several searches and it doesn’t appear anyone else is wanting to do
   this – or maybe I’m looking in the wrong place.
    I’m building a new website with
   WordPress for our blog and CMS. Currently we have several specific URLs for areas
   of our website, i.e. [http://www.encounterthis.com/band](http://www.encounterthis.com/band)
   [http://www.encounterthis.com/momentum](http://www.encounterthis.com/momentum)
   [http://www.encounterthis.com/podcast](http://www.encounterthis.com/podcast) 
   Basically directories with separate index.html files for different areas of our
   site to make access and sharing easier. I’d like to do something similar with
   our new site (currently testing/building at [http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008](http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008))
   where [http://www.encounterthis.com/band](http://www.encounterthis.com/band) 
   takes you to the band category or a specific page. Anyone have a workaround or
   ideas on how to accomplish this other than simply putting a redirect on an index
   file in the directories?

 * I use the “Redirection” plugin: [http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/](http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/)
 * It sort of automatically creates 301s for any pages you want to redirect, and
   keeps a log of the number of times it’s redirected. Works really well.
 * Just keep in mind that the redirect won’t work until you delete the old page.
   Took me a bit to figure that out.

 * Search through the plugin directory, I can’t remember the name but there’s a 
   great redirection plugin. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll have a look.
 * Edit – Just found it .. permalink_redirect-0.8.1

 * I guess I’m missing something.
    I’m trying this in the 2nd box on the options
   page (Path pairs to redirect from and to)
 * [http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008/band](http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008/band)
   [http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008/?page_id=13](http://www.encounterthis.com/new2008/?page_id=13)
 * (there’s a space between the two urls)
