I have had to move a particular section of one of my website to another website. I need some help with how to redirect the old url to the new one.

The old url was
http://makingdestiny.com/believe.item.1/positive-thinking-concept.html

The new url is
http://swayamsat.org/blog.item.1/positive-thinking-concept.html

There are 70 such articles. So is there a rewrite rule that can redirect all the old urls to the new ones

the pattern for all the redirected urls is same.

http://makingdestiny.com/believe is to be replaced by http://swayamsat.org.blog

the other part of the url remain same.

Hope i have been clear with the problem.

Thanks ghia,
but it does not seem to be working

It redirects http://makingdestiny.com/believe
to
http://swayamsat.org/blog

It also redirects http://makingdestiny.com/believe/
to
http://swayamsat.org/blog/

but it does not seem to be working for what I need

ie it is not redirecting

http://makingdestiny.com/believe.item.1/positive-thinking-concept.html
to
http://swayamsat.org/blog.item.1/positive-thinking-concept.html

Humm, a dot.

RedirectMatch permanent /believe(.*) http://swayamsat.org/blog$1

http://swayamsat.org/blog.item.1/positive-thinking-concept.html?seoOp=item&seoArg=1

Probably, there are also other rewrite instructions that add these?
Could be in either site (SEO of SmartSection?).

Yep I am using publisher with .htaccess rewrite on.

Anyways thanks a lot since there are less then 100 urls I will add redirect rule for each of them individually.

Thanks again Ghia, for all the help. May god bless you
