Pointing at a different WP Database

    Hi.

    I have a WordPress site at a .co.uk domain, and I am moving the site contents to a .com domain hosted by a different company.

    However, I don’t want to lose the RSS subscribers from the original site, though I want all updates to be made to the database at the new site.

    Is it possible, therefore, to “point” WordPress at the original site to the new database hosted with the new site? If so, will this achieve what I want – ie for all current RSS subscribers to continue to get updates even though they’re made at a different site?

    Over time I will encourage subscribers to drop the original subscription and resubscribe to the new feed, but I know this willnot happen overnight.

    Any advice gratefully received…

    At where the co.uk is hosted, open up your .htaccess and insert the following.

    This will re-direct all traffic to your co.uk domain to your .com

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
