# Change permalink base HREF

 * I’m looking for a way to change the base URL for permalinks to another domain(
   not the one specified in WordPress address in Settings).
 * I want to replace permalink URLs like this:
 * [http://domain.com/2008/12/test-post](http://domain.com/2008/12/test-post)
 * with something like this:
 * [http://newdomain.com/2008/12/test-post](http://newdomain.com/2008/12/test-post)
 * Doing this with .htaccess rules doesn’t work for me, because of forwarding loop
   issues. I need to have WordPress use a different base HREF for all permalinks.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Well you should be able to but why is a good question.
 * I tell you three times backup, backup, backup your files and database and check
   out

 * I’ve never used this plugin, so if you use it and the Bad Thing(tm) happens, 
   get ready to restore that backup.

 * I read this as someone wanting to post from domain.com and have the post show
   up on newdomain.com.

 * I guess I’m just not sure what the end goal is, and advice may change based on
   that goal.

 * Hopefully this will clarify:
 * I own and control **domain.com**, and I have a WordPress blog installed at **
   domain.com/blog**
 * However, I don’t want anyone to access my blog from domain.com. I want them to
   access it by going to **anothersite.com/domain**, which I don’t own or control,
   and which transparently redirects to **domain.com/blog**
 * So I tell people to go to **anothersite.com/domain**, and they see the blog.
 * Problem is, all my permalinks point to **domain.com/blog/file**, when I want 
   them to point to **anothersite.com/domain/file**
 * Would really appreciate any help you can offer.
