# Problem Redirect

 * I recently moved WP blog to sub-domain of Domesticnest.com located at [http://blog.domesticnest.com](http://blog.domesticnest.com).
   Previously I had the blog installed in a subfolder of the root directory called“
   blog”. Now if someone goes to blog at old URL [http://www.domesticnest.com/blog](http://www.domesticnest.com/blog)
   they rec’v Page not Found Error. I have installed a redirect plugin and created
   a permanent redirect (301) to [http://blog.domesticnest.com](http://blog.domesticnest.com),
   but this doesn’t redirect traffic. I have altered the .htaccess file in the **/
   blog** folder. Here is the code
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^http://domesticnest\.com/blog$ /http://blog\.domesticnest\.com [R=301,L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * Any assistance would greatly help as I’m out of ideas. Is this because I’m re-
   directing the old URL page to the new sub-domain located in the same folder (/
   blog).
