I just need to redirect one whole site, to another whole site. My new site has been copied from the old one, I am basically just changing the name of the site. Can I do a simple redirect from site A to Site B with out doing all the paged and posts individually.

If the old domain is still there, you can avoid using any plugins and just add this directly to a .htaccess file in the root folder under the old domain:

Redirect 301 / http://mynewsite.com/

This will redirect the entire site.

Thanks for this @manndtp.

How will it work if I want to delete the existing site?

I am moving my blog from http://blog.capeholidays.info to just http://capeholidays.info

Thanks.

To redirect requests for sub.yourdomain.com/uri to yourdomain.com/uri:
```
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
```
