• Hey

    first maybe my question is repeated but I searched and couldn’t find a helpful answer for me.

    I changed the domain of my website an I still own the old domain and now wanna redirect all the pages of the old domain to the new domain like old.com/page1 to new.com/page1 or /post2 etc..

    so is there any plugin that can do that or any other way to do it? because I don’t want to lose my indexed pages in google that’s the main reason

    Thanks

  • Have a look for 301 Redirect plugins. There’s a fair few around so you’ll have some choices of which ones will work best for you.

    Thanks for ur reply!!

    But the 301 redirect plugins will be installed n my new domain’s wordpress? because I will change my wordpress domain to a new one so will that work to redirect my old domain to the new one?

    Yes, you install that on the new site. Then you’ll load up all of the old URL’s and decide which new URl to point them to.

    But I don’t need an ownership verification for my old domain?

    and is there any plugin that u would recommend it?

    Sorry for too many questions but I searched a lot and for a long time and couldn’t find any helpful answer 🙁

    Why would you need ownership verification? You’d just park the old domain on top of the new domain so that they both point to the same hosting account and all of the requests for either domain hit the same system.

    The one that I normally use is Simple 301 Redirects, but like I said, there’s a lot more out there that will do the same thing.

    I want to redirect all my old domain indexed pages in google to the new domain ( not the home page )

    so if someone goes to old.com/post1 they will be redirected to new.com/post1 and not new.com

    I can redirect a whole website by my domain manager in GoDaddy but I can’t redirect the old pages to the new pages with the new domain from GoDaddy

    Go back and re-read what I’ve said, because that will do exactly what you want it to. I know it that it might not sound like it and it’s a bit confusing when you’re not used to do ing this, but I’ve done it this way a lot of times before. 🙂

    You don’t redirect the old pages on the old server, or on GoDaddy or anywhere else. You only do that on the new system. That way when the new system receives a request for an old URL the 301 redirection plugin tells it the correct page to display, and the user is taken to the new correct URL without them needing to do anything. same goes for the search engine bots.
