Hi, I recently bought a new domain name and copied my WordPress files from the root of my hosting account to a sub-directory. The original site is still live on the root, but now that the new site is set up in a sub-directory with the new domain name, I'm looking to use 301's to redirect traffic from the old domain to the new one at page-level. It was my understanding that I could just use Redirect 301 /the-old-page-name mynewdomain/the-new-page-name in .htaccess However, I get a message in my browser that says "The web page has resulted in too many redirects" What is the correct way to do this? Thanks, Jason
With WordPress, the site url and home url is located in the database. You must update this manually using phpmyadmin if you move the site. A 301 redirect will not work. You can see http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress for more details. Feel free to send me a PM if you need help with this.
