How to redirect like this?

by Karan Goel

Hey all.

I am moving one of my WP blogs to another domain. The only problem I'm facing is redirection from old domain to new.

How can I redirect like this.

User goes to old-domain.com/2010/post, is shown a message (about domain change) for a few seconds and is redirected to new-domain.com/2010/post

I am able to delay the redirect with the code here, but can't figure out how to redirect to the same post.

Please help me.
Thanks
Karan

        Hi

        I think this is what you need:

        Add the following to your .htaccess file:

        Options +FollowSymLinks
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new-site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

        But if not, just search for 301 redirect, and you'll find plenty of tutorials about how to use this code in an .htaccess file.

          Ha! I spent too much time composing. You beat me to it.

          Cheers!

          Hey

          Thanks for your help. But, ONLY 301 won't solve the purpose. It would just redirect to the specified URL. But, I also need to show a custom message in a delay. Possible?

    Can you use a 301 redirect in .htaccess to point to the same post on the new site? Then use WP Greet Box to display a message that says you moved if they came from your old URL? I'm not sure if the referrer will be the source, or your site. If it is then it should work just fine.

    Just a random thought. I've not tried to do this.

    Hey!!

    Can anyone help me do the redirect to exact permalink with a delayed Javascript redirect?

    Thanks
