  1. I had a website 'example.com', which was in wordpress initially but i had to move it to php.

  2. Now my site is in php. The problem now is, i tried redirecting urls, for ex:-http://www.example.com/about-mysite/, to my new url using Redirect 301 in .htaccess file.

  3. Suppose my old page is /about-example/, i redirect it as,

    Redirect 301 /about-mysite/ http://www.example.com/about-example.php

but it is not getting redirected.

Can you show your full .htaccess? – anubhava
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L] Redirect 301 /about-kankaria-eye-hospital/ http://www.asianeyehospital.com/about-kankaria-eye-hospital.php. I hope this is readable. – atul

Have this redirect rule right at top of your .htaccess before WP rules:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(about-kankaria-eye-hospital)/?$ /$1.php [L,NC,R=301]

Suggested generic redirect rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/?$ /$1.php [L,NC,R=301]
