If you just want to redirect an individual page, set the rewrite rules below by replacing “page1” with the page your want to redirect to, in this case it is “new-page1”. The “page1” on the left can be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the destination file, by the way!

Do you see the pattern? Notice the (.*) wildcard, which represents a section of the page URL that can contain any characters as long as it is AFTER “page1” and the “$1” at the end of the new destination URL is the correlating reference to this wildcard text which essentially just carries the contents of text within this wildcard to its new place in the new URL on the right. Confused yet?!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page1(.*) http://%{SERVER_NAME}/new-page1$1 [R,L]
