Code

Redirect 301 /example/test.html http://www.yoursite.com/newlocation/newpage.html


Cut and paste this code into your .htaccess file. "Redirect 301" means that it is a permanent redirect. You can change it to "Redirect 302" for a temporary redirect. If you have no number, then it will default to a temporary (302) redirect. Change the "/example/test.html" to your old location. Then put your new location in where it says "http://www.yoursite.com/newlocation/newpage.html". You are done
