 * Hi,
 * I recently moved my free WP blog [https://saskiapaul.wordpress.com/](https://saskiapaul.wordpress.com/)
   to a new domain
    [https://saskiapaul-globetrotter.com/](https://saskiapaul-globetrotter.com/).
 * Now, I would like to direct any traffic from the free WP blog automatically to
   the new URL. What is the best way to do that? And should I redirect only the 
   landing page or do I have to implement a redirect from any subpage of the old
   blog?
 * Thanks,
    Paul
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ftraffic-redirection%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thank you for your suggested approach. However, WordPress is charging an annual
   fee for this redirect. I am looking for a free solution.
 * Would it be also possible to establish the redirect using .htaccess with code
   like
 * RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !oldedomain.de$ [NC]
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [http://www.newdomain.de/$1](http://www.newdomain.de/$1) [
   L,R=301]
 * Thanks.
