In reply to: [Redirection] Redirection of old domain to new domainHey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but I can’t get it to work anymore. We actually had transferred the site from the original through two test beds before the final site. The transfer from the original to the final worked fine, but because too many people needed to access the admin page to the original site, the IT director put an old-fashioned redirect that just directs to the homepage. So I tried the Redirection Plugin with one of the test beds and it doesn’t work. I wonder if there’s a problem with going from http to https. That’s the only difference I can think of on my side.
One thing I noticed I tried on the old site was I had Regular Expressions checked. Although I tried that with this new test i got a “URL is too long” error.
Anyway, I’ll look around a bit for a solution.

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirection of old domain to new domainHi, OnlineMarketingHelpers.
If you follow what I wrote in the previous post it should work. Like I said, the problem is that it redirects EVERYTHING, including the admin and login pages, so if you don’t remain logged in at http://www.oldsite.com then you won’t be able to access your old site’s dashboard. In that case you’d have to delete the plugin manually from your plugins directory.
Good luck.

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirection of old domain to new domainHi, hookedonweb. Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing and I got it working. The pages are the same on the new site as well. So to get it working I put in the root domain as the source and the target domain in the Target, like this:
Title: Site Transfer
Source URL: http://www.oldsite.com/
Target URL: http://www.newsite.com/
HTTP Code: 301The problem with this method is that EVERY PAGE is redirected, including the admin and login pages. I remained logged in so going directly to the wp-admin page brought me to the oldsite dashboard correctly. But someone else tried it who wasn’t logged in and they were redirected from the login page of the oldsite to the login page to the new site. I haven’t figured this part out yet.
Yeah, I was hoping there was an import / export plugin pair that worked harmoniously, but no such thing that I’ve found. There’s another Import from CSV plugin out there that I ended up using. The data it imported was limited but it at least came with an example CSV that I could use to format my spreadsheet.
Hi, Julie. I’m having the same problem. Did you get it fixed? Do you have an example CSV that does work so you can match the fields?
