I found some errors in Google Search Console — Crawl Error. More than 400 errors of Not-Found.
After checking the details of these errors, I am noticed that they are the dead links which were brought after I converted this blog from MovableType to WordPress.
Some links are changed and I forgot to implement the redirection.
OK. Now I add some rules in .htaccess file to make these dead link to redirect to the correct URLs.
Here is some examples.
Monthly archives:
Old url is https://www.yinfor.com/archives/2012/09/
New url is https://www.yinfor.com/2012/09/
So I added following rule into .htaccess file in root.
# Redirect monthly archives RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9\/]*)/ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Tag page:
Old tag page is https://www.yinfor.com/mtcgi/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlugs=4,1&tag=beta&limit=20
New tag page is https://www.yinfor.com/tag/beta/
I add following rule into .htaccess
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^IncludeBlogs=([0-9,]*)&tag=(.*)&limit=20$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yinfor.com/tag/%2? [L,R=301]
Another type of tag page:
Old tag page is https://www.yinfor.com/mtcgi/mt-search.cgi?tag=Gogle&blog_id=5
New tag page is https://www.yinfor.com/tag/Google/
Add following into .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^tag=(.*)&blog_id=([0-9])$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yinfor.com/tag/%1? [L,R=301]
