I'm getting a lot of 404 errors b/c I recently switched content management systems (Habari to WordPress). I would like to use the 301 redirect plugin for WordPress to capture and helpfully redirect the offending links to the correct urls. Here's an example of the type of errors I'm seeing and what they should be redirected to:
http://janetalkstech.com/admin/publish?id=146
should redirect to
http://janetalkstech.com/?p=146
http://janetalkstech.com/admin/publish?slug=post-title
should redirect to
http://janetalkstech.com/post-title
I would greatly appreciate any specific pointers on how to perform the redirects with either the 301 redirect plugin for WordPress or via .htaccess file
