Problem with .htaccess 301 redirect for Wordpress site in a subdirectory

edited August 2012 in Help / Advice Forum
Moving an .html site into Wordpress, but the redirects are not working.

Ex: http://www.schoolpsychologistfiles.com/EmDisability.html should go to http://www.schoolpsychologistfiles.com/EmDisability

Instead, users get a 404 error.

Wordpress files (including the .htaccess file I edited) reside here:
/public_html/schoolpsychologistfiles

Here is the .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Try separating them out like this? Its how I did mine and they work fine. Also sometimes it takes a little while to update after you change the htaccess file, and of course you need to clear your cache when going back to the site. Also I believe there was something I had to do in WordPress to get it to work (maybe with the database?) but I really cant remember it was so long ago. There is also a plugin for this people seem to like wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/

    I tried that plug-in. From what I can tell so far, it's exactly what I needed.

    Many thanks!
