I had a blog hosted by Wordpress. I bought a domain and some hosting and did an export and import to copy the content over to the new blog. I did the domain mapping so that now if you type in the old domain name you get taken to the new domain name. So far so good. I got most of my visitors from a google image search that displayed an image on my blog. Now that I moved the blog the image is still being displayed in the image search but when you click on it a message is displayed: Is there anything to do to get this to direct to the new domain? Thanks.
Is your permalink structure on the new site the same as the old site? Is the location of the image in a directory of the same name as it is listed in the blog post?
You just need to update your .htaccess. Go to settings>permalinks and repick your structure and submit and it will show you what to copy/paste in your .htaccess (which goes in the root folder of the blog)
Thanks. It didnt tell me to copy/paste anything and it now appears to be re-directing ok. Hope it hasnt affected my ranking! Cheers.
