    Hi! I’m new to WP Multisite and have received a request to redirect one of the blogs (ie. blogs.domain.com/someblog) to a new domain (ie., newdomain.com). Could some kind soul point me in the right direction for how to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the help. I was able to use that to redirect the home page of the blog in question. How would I redirect all the posts within that blog?

    You can actually get pretty fancy and redirect individual posts from their old URL to the new one, you can do this in groups, etc… Look at the documentation for the plugin here. You _may_ need to brush up on regular expressions if you want to get fancy, or you can just wildcard everything and say “no matter what URL you WERE trying to get to, you are going to this one”.

    If you have questions about how a plugin operates you’ll have better luck contacting the developer directly.

    Thanks. For others looking to do this, what ultimately worked was using the wildcard regular expression:

    /someblog/(.*) and check the “Regular expression” checkbox and enter the Target URL.

    Thanks for having pity on a newbie, John!
