[wp-hackers] Rewrite rule for pages from old site

[Mika A Epstein]

Why not just do it in .htaccess directly?

RewriteRule ^sermons/([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2}).php?$ /sermon/$1/$2/$3?post_type=sermon [L,R=301]

(Caveat - Elf is still on that first cuppa)

Though why do you need the extra post_type on the end? The new CPT URLs should be /cpt/title/ normally, you don't generally push YMD in there (I know you can, but the guy who wrote the plugin for it dropped support because it was somewhat a bad idea).
