Added note stating what the actual question requires and that a 301 redirect is probably not appropriate

| Jun 30, 2014 at 19:18 | comment | added | MrWhite | I'm just really referring to the URL. Whether it is the "categories" that determine the URL is specific to your site/CMS. @ECarterYoung Joomla 1.5 is mentioned a few comments up. | |

| Jun 30, 2014 at 10:07 | comment | added | MrWhite | Yes, it does sound like you need to change the URLs on your site and not redirect after all. Trying to redirect to the new location that does not exist is not going to help you! You could partially solve this with an internal rewrite, but you are still going to have to (or rather, "you should") change all the URLs that point to those pages... (although that could perhaps be solved with a redirect, but now it's getting messy) so, yes, you really need to change the URL structure in your CMS (ie. Joomla). | |
| Jun 30, 2014 at 9:04 | comment | added | Boris_yo | I think /blog-domain-name/blog-post.html is permanent location and I need to not redirect but change URL. I don't know how to do that in Joomla 1.5 | |
| Jun 30, 2014 at 9:03 | comment | added | Boris_yo | Does not work and I get: Bad karma: we can't find that page! | |
| Jun 30, 2014 at 9:00 | comment | added | Boris_yo | I mean new 301 /blog/ will know that all requests coming for blog posts located on old /blog-domain-name/ are coming exactly for blog posts and not something else? Will /blog/ know how to properly redirect old blog posts to their new destination? | |
