    If PHP is at the end of your URL then you need to keep it in there.

    I would wait until you are about to go live before setting up the redirects.

    hey John. Thanks.

    So, then I would actually create the redirect from the .php to the new wordpress that just ends in the "/", right?

    Just trying to be clear that the domain that ends in the .php does indeed need a to have a redirect to the .com/, right?
