If I remove .html from URL will old links still work?

Question

When I first set up my website I forgot to add the code in the .htaccess file to remove the .html in the web page URL.

I would now like to do that but only if the old links with .html in the URL will still work.

So will the old links still work even when I update the .htaccess file to remove the .html from the URL?

Depends on the htaccess file – luk2302 Aug 22 '21 at 13:11 — luk2302, Aug 22 '21 at 13:11

Answer is YES, they will work, if you edit .htaccess to hide the extension.
