Hey celloblue,
I resolved a similar issue with regular expressions. Hopefully this will work for you, too.
I created a 301 redirect with the following parameters:
source URL: /201\d/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/(.*)$
target URL: /$1
Make sure the “Regex” radio box is checked.
Please let me know how it goes!
Ashley
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. I am considering hiring a programmer instead. (I was really excited when I saw the false claim of the plugin “Automatically add a 301 redirection when a post’s URL changes”) but I guess people get what they pay for 🙂
After digging and digging, I found a plugin that does this!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mp-smart-redirect/
No settings or dumb configurations needed – this one is truly automated!
I’m off to go review and rate the two plugins based on their promises and my actual experience with them. I encourage you to do the same if you had the same issue as I did!
Hi,
I would like to do a redirect from my old wordpress.com blog to my new self hosted wordpress blog. I was hoping to find out…
1) Will the simple plug in ‘Redirection/ also redirect all the pins I have floating out there (Pinterest, etc) to the new blog?
2) If not, what do I need to purchase/download to make that happen?
Thanks!
