  Greets:

  I hate dealing with htaccess files. :)

  I’m trying to redirect from my old wp site to my blog here. So far I’ve got:

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tdjc.be$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tdjc.be$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://drmikessteakdinner.com/$1 [R=301,L]

  The issues though are that I needs to forward the category pages which are in the format tdjc.be/category/ to drmikessteakdinner.com/tag/ I also need to redirect my former upload directory from tdjc.be/wp-content/uploads/ to avatars.tdjc.be/uploads/

  Hope someone can help,
  -drmike

  I know, they’re a pain…

  I haven’t tested this, but it might help you:

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  ##the first part you have it worked out
  ...
  
  ## Dealing with Uploads
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  ^(www.)?tdjc.be/wp-content/uploads/$
  RewriteRule  ^(www.)?tdjc.be/wp-content/uploads/$  http://avatars.tdjc.be/uploads/ [R=301,L]
  </IfModule>

  Eewww, doesn’t work either. Also tried to redirect here.

  Thank you for the effort though.
