Does anyone know how can I do a page-by-page 301 redirect of a domain to my main domain efficiently? Both websites are WordPress... Thanks

Should be only this in the .htaccess of the redirected domain.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

You can tear it all out, database and all, and just have that in the .htaccess and a blank index.html at the root for good measure.

But drop that in the .htaccess first and make sure it works right. I didn't test it. You don't have to take the old version down if you don't want to, in case you ever revert the changes.

Just want to confirm...

Is a modification of this code going to work if I want to do 301 redirects as follows:

olddomain.com > newdomain.com/abc
olddomain.com/def > newdomain.com/def
and so on mapping each page of the old website to a new page

@fatalityhawk, I thought you were asking about making every page redirect to the exact same URL on a different domain in one shot. If you want to manually choose the locations of each and every page then you can do something like:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^/def/ https://newdomain.com/def/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/abc/ https://newdomain.com/abc-123/ [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Adding more RewriteRules as you go. You don't have to use mod_rewrite.c either, you can go straight for the kill if you aren't grouping rules wit Regex:

Redirect 301 /old-slug/ https://newdomain.com/new-slug/

And just stack those up one after another, one for each redirect.
