htaccess - how to lose the old .html suffix for new site
#3
Thanks for the quick reply Connie! I think the above is for adding a .html suffix to all the pages though.

What I'm trying to do is get any old links from search engines which point to a .html page to automatically display the page without the .html suffix.

An example: at the moment the client has a page called "about-us.html" but the Get Simple site displays this page as "about-us". This means that anyone going to the .html page gets a 404 error.

I don't really want to add the .html suffix to all of his existing pages, just put in a rule which says "you're looking for a .html page, I'll show you a page with the same url just without the .html bit".

Is this possible?
