I tried my best to describe 🙂

I currently run a site on another CMS (.net). The current url to call articles is /indhold/templates/design.aspx?articleid=9713&zoneid=5.

So i want my new wordpress site to be able to also answer the url above, and then redirect to the new wordpress url.

So when people calling. the above url the code looks up the post with the custom field old_article_id 9713 and then redirects to the new wordpress url.

It’s to maintain SEO. The page will make a 301 redirection, so that google on the long run finds our more than 10.000 articles on their new place.

Hopes that explains.
