 * My is returning ERROR 403. The reason is Hostgator’s security policy, it thinks
   this is a hacker attack or something. But I found that if I just take the “HTTP”
   from the link it works. Here are examples:
 * This one does not works:

 * This one works fine:

 * The only difference is the removal of “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); from the
   beginning of the argument. Would it be possible to change the plugin to take 
   care of this? I looked around in several sites and a lot of people are having
   this problem. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

 * Hi Mudito,
 * I have the same issue. I also use hostgator, I get the Error 403 (only for blog
   posts, for the main page works fine) and if I remove manually the ‘[http://&#8217](http://&#8217);
   it works. But I don’t know how to remove from the code. Could you please help
   me?
 * If you don’t know about the code, at least how do I add a link to the error page(
   like you did).
 * To redirect from blogger to WP I have followed the steps in the link below.

 * The solution I used was following the steps in the Wpbegginers page but a friend
   helped me change the code of the blogger template to this (of course you need
   to replace the website name):`
 * <html>
    <head> <title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>
 *  <script>
    <MainOrArchivePage> window.location.href=”[http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/&#8221](http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/&#8221);
   </MainOrArchivePage> <Blogger> <ItemPage>
 *  var str = “<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>”;
    var url_velho = str.substr(7); window.
   location.href=’[http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/?blogger=’+url_velho](http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/?blogger=’+url_velho);
 *  </ItemPage>
    </Blogger> </script>
 *  <MainPage>
    <link rel=”canonical” href=”[http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/&#8221](http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/&#8221);/
   > </MainPage>
 *  <Blogger>

   > </ItemPage> </Blogger> </head>
 *  <body>
    <MainOrArchivePage> <h1><a href=”[http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/”><$BlogTitle$></a></h1&gt](http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/”><$BlogTitle$></a></h1&gt);

 * Many thanks Mudito!
 * I have just replaced the lines which delete the ‘[http://&#8217](http://&#8217);
   and worked!
 * var str = “<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>”;
    var url_velho = str.substr(7); window.
   location.href=’[http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/?blogger=’+url_velho](http://www.dhammadafloresta.org/?blogger=’+url_velho);
 * Obrigado!
