Which is the most quickest and effective way to make a 301 redirect?

[sman21]

I have changed my site's urls sllightly by adding category of the page's to their permalinks.

Now what should be the most quickest and effective way to make a 301 redirect for those pages. The thing is that I am not much familiar with the codes written in .htaccess files.

Not necessarily you will have to edit your .htaccess file. If you are using a shared hosting then you will also have a control panel provided by your hosting provider. And the most common control panel provided by any hosting provider is cPanel which has an inbuilt feature to make 301 redirects. Just go on and place the the correct urls in the correct gaps. That's it.

You could get an addon that redirects to the necessary page.
One that I know of is "Quick Page".
It is one of the best 301 redirect tools out there.

I hope this helps!
