  I am redesigning my website to a WordPress website, but the earlier websites links are present all over the internet. Like: http://www.doamin.com/some_folder/some_page.htm etc.

  New website in WordPress will not have such URLs. And I do not want to redirect user to new WordPress URLs as of now because I fear of losing google ranking of existing URLs if URL path is changed by redirection.

  So, is there any way to map new WordPress based URL to old URLs so that when user visits old URLs, user sees the new WordPress pages but the URL of that page remains the same as old URL.

  Is there a plugin for it? or is there a file in WordPress in which I can write Like:

  [Old URL 1] [New_URL 1]
  [Old URL 2] [New_URL 2]
  [Old URL 3] [New_URL 3]

  So that WordPress shows new page on old URL from reading this file but not redirects to new URL.

  Hi ankitnagpal123,

  news.softsolutionslimited.com is a self hosted WordPress.org site connected to your WordPress.com account with the Jetpack plugin.

  These forums are where we provide support for WordPress.com sites hosted on our servers. However, help for WordPress.org sites is available on these forums:

  https://wordpress.org/support/

  If you don’t already see an answer to your question there you can start a new topic. You may also want to speak to your hosting provider (NameCheap) about redirects as this may be something they can help with.

  Best of luck getting this sorted!
