    Guys, I need help. I'm trying to use blogger to wordpress redirection plugin but its giving me an error. (Basically i transferring my blogger blog to wordpress and before trying the actual process,i'm using a dummy blog)

    I tried with a dummy blog.

    For example, when i click on http://csstormtroopers.blogspot.com/2012/09/test-3.html , (individual post)

    It should go to http://bleepingtech.com/test-3/

    Instead it goes to http://bleepingtech.com/?b2w=http://csstormtroopers.blogspot.in/2012/09/test-3.html

    That means,its just redirecting to the home page

    Individual posts are not redirecting to the new address and it takes me to http://bleepingtech.com/?b2w=http://csstormtroopers.blogspot.in/2012/09/test-3.html

    What is the problem here? Can anyone please help

    Put this code into your .htaccess file in the root of your old blog (domain.tld), that should work:

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/([a-z0-9]+) http://bleepingtech.com/$1
    Code (markup):

    I used Blogger 301 Redirect(wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blogger-301-redirect/)and it worked like a charm! :)

    Have you tried to export the blog, I haven't tried but it seems to be able to export the blog. Go to "Settings" and at the top (Blog Tools) there's an export blog option. Then just use the Wordpress import option ( under "Tools" I think)
