 * 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/](http://mynewsite.com/)
 * This will redirect the entire site.

 * Thanks for this [@manndtp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manndtp/).
 * How will it work if I want to delete the existing site?
 * I am moving my blog from [http://blog.capeholidays.info](http://blog.capeholidays.info)
   to just [http://capeholidays.info](http://capeholidays.info)

 * 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]
       ```
