    Hi,
    I have a blog running on abc.com/blog/ with lots of links on twitter etc pointing to lots of posts.
    I want to have the same blog running on CDE.com/.
    I managed pointing to the same directory (one WP installation ) and when I changed site URL etc the old links didn’t work anymore leading to 404s.
    How do I redirect the old links to the new urls?
    Redirection seems to do the trick and hasn’t been tested with 3.5.2…
    Ideas?
    Take care,
    Olaf

    You can try using .htaccess for a permanent redirect.

    On your root folder look for the .htaccess file and add this:

    RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/$ http://cde.com/

    That should do the trick.
