<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I"m migrating a site that was in ASP.net on a Windows hosting account to Wordpress on a Linux hosting account.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have done the migration and setup the Permalinks in WP to match the originals as close as possible, but there are still a few issues.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is the permalinks structure I have setup:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>/%category%/%postname%.aspx</strong></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which I believe takes care of about 90% of the transition.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here's what I have identified so far as not being handled by the permalinks structure (note: the links are to a temp site that I setup, it is password protected to avoid duplicate content penalties...these links won't work, they are just to illustrate the problem):
</div>
<div><br><b>[category pages - add the word 'category' if it is a category main page]</b> <br><a href="http://www.smdwebhosting.net/PersonalFinance/">http://www.smdwebhosting.net/PersonalFinance/</a> <font color="#ff0000">
<b>to</b></font> <a href="http://www.smdwebhosting.net/category/personalfinance">http://www.smdwebhosting.net/category/personalfinance</a></div>
<div>Even though both of these will actually work, I don't want them to be seen as duplicate content, so I'd like a permanent redirect from the first structure to the second.<br> </div><b></b>
<div><b>[pages - convert to lower case and add .aspx to the end]</b> <br><a href="http://www.smdwebhosting.net/About-Jon.aspx">http://www.smdwebhosting.net/About-Jon.aspx</a> <font color="#ff0000"><b>to</b></font> <a href="http://www.smdwebhosting.net/about-jon">
http://www.smdwebhosting.net/about-jon</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The above illustrate the following 3 issues:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Linux hosting is case sensitive: I thought this would be a problem, but it seems the current .htaccess file handles it.</div>
<div>2. WordPress puts the word "category" into URLs on category pages. This didn't exist on the old site, so for all the category pages the URLs need to be redirected.</div>
<div>3. Even with the permalinks structure [/%category%/%postname%.aspx] WP still doesn't add the .aspx extension to "Pages" </div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I'm looking for then is someone to modify an existing .htaccess file, to handle #2 & #3.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you can help with this, please quote me a price and I time frame for completing the work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
