  Hi Joseph,

  - What version of Wordpress are you using?
  - What version of the plugin are you using?
  - What was your old permalink structure and what’s your new?

  I am wanting to move my wordpress.com blog to my own host and use wordpress.org software. In many google searches I am the first listing generated and I have a fairly good page rank. Is you plug-in what I need to do to redirect everything to my new site? I would truly appreciate any help you could give me! THANKS

  Hi Cindy,

  Sorry, this will only work when changing permalinks on the same domain.

  I am planning to use this plugin, but my case a bit different, I hope can get some information from the author.

  Currently my blog are hosted at “blog.icalvyn.com”(subdomain) and google rank me PR2, my main URL “www.iCalvyn.com” are PR4 which permanently redirect to “blog.icalvyn.com”

  since the main URL PR are higher, I was planning to migrate my blog from “blog.icalvyn.com”(pr2) to “icalvyn.com”(pr4)

  does this plugin help ?

  Hi iCalvyn,

  If your permalink structure remains the same, you don’t need this plugin. All you need to do is put a .htaccess file in the root directory of blog.icalvyn.com to redirect everything to your new site:

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.icalvyn.com/1 [R=301,L]

  Google will also transfer the pagerank to your new address.

  hi Microkid, you misunderstand my situation. now my problem solve with ur plugin

  but the problem is, while i delete the blog in old location (blog.icalvyn.com) the thing cant work

  example people access blog.icalvyn.com/hello cannot redirect to http://www.icalvyn.com/hello

  the old blog have to be remain there… then seen like duplicate content

  meaning that currently http://www.icalvyn.com/hello and blog.icalvyn.com/hello have the same content, and both are separate wordpress and different db too

  any suggestion?

  Hi iCalvyn,

  If the 301 headers work correctly, Google will also be forwarded to the new location, and you shouldnt have to worry about duplicate content. As long as everything on your old location gets forwarded to the new location you’re fine.

  Hi,

  I have a site that uses /blog/?id=123 and I want to use the format /blog/title-of-my-post.html. How do I do this?

  Thanks

  Hi Rem,

  I’m currently working on a new release that will work with the /?p=123 structure (it’ll be released somewhere this week probably)

  However, using “.html” in the URLs is nog a built in feature of WP or this plugin, so you’ll need something else to tackle that bit.

  Thanks MicroKid,

  I look forward to the new update. Does it address the issue of my page so that if it is currently using /blog/?id=123 it can immediately redirect to /my-blog-post-article/?

  I wish you can create a little documentation on what it can do, its limitations, etc.

  Thanks again!

  Rem,

  I’m pretty sure though that the latest Wordpress version automatically solves this (built in). Are you running the latest version (2.5.1)?

• Rem

  Yes, and I think if I choose the new format, it can be implemented. My problem is just that old posts aren’t converted from the /?id=123 to the /post-article-title/ format.

  I’ll explore other options.

  Thanks
