Moved my blog. How do I redirect? (10 posts)

    I recently moved my blog from brittanyrubinstein.com/blog to brittinspired.com. How do I redirect users to the correct page? Including redirecting links to specific posts. I'm sure there's probably a pretty simple answer, but I don't know anything about this.

    Thanks!

    In your .htaccess file (old site) add this line:
    Redirect 301 / http://brittinspired.com/

    OK great! The links to individual blog posts are now redirecting correctly, but the homepage tries to redirect to brittinspired.com/blog, which doesn't exist, instead of just brittinspired.com. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Not sure I know what you mean. Are you saying I should create another .htaccess file or add another redirect line to the first file?

    I am not sure it will work, but I meant adding a redirevt line before the current line.

    Have a backup file to restore if it fails.

    have you modified the site URL and wordpress URL in your settings? They should point to your new URL.

    Related question that's probably very basic, but I have recently installed WordPress on my existing website: http://www.consortiumnews.com/wordpress.

    Not quite ready to make the change, but when I am, how do I make this my homepage, i.e. http://www.consortiumnews.com/wordpress --> http://www.consortiumnews.com.

    Ah, okay. I knew that was basic. Thanks!
