Redirect sub domain to main domain without effecti

Question

My situation is as follows:

• I've have a new website at my main domain. Example: mywebsite.com.
• My old portfolio is located at an old sub domain: portfolio.mywebsite.com.
• All portfolio items can be found in a sub directory at the portfolio site.
• So portfolio item 1 can be found at portfolio.mywebsite.com/item-1, etc.
• The sub domain is running WordPress with Multisite enabled.
• The sub domain and main domain are hosted by different web hosts.

I want to redirect all traffic from portfolio.mywebsite.com to mywebsite.com/portfolio. But I don't want to redirect traffic from the portfolio items, since I don't have time to build a new portfolio yet. Therefor I also need to be able to acces the wp-admin folder on the sub domain.

In short: How do I redirect traffic from portfolio.mywebsite.com to mywebsite.com/portfolio without effecting all the other urls? :)

Best regards,

Michael

Answer 1

Try placing this redirect rule in root of portfolio.mywebsite.com as very first rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ http://mywebsite.com/portfolio [L,NE,R=302]

Answer 2

If i understand well your problem i think that you can use a simple plugin for redirection like Safe Redirect Manager

It's very simple to use.
