Merging Two WP blogs Without losing readers

  • I maintain two blog sites for a client that are installed on their server space. One is found at ifcamedia.org/wavelengths and the other is at ifcamedia.org/fireinmybones.

    Fire in My Bones has a fair amount of daily reader activity. Wavelengths does not. My client wants to keep the CONTENT, AND THE READERS/SUBSCRIBERS/FOLLOWERS of FIRE intact but he wants to convert it to the WAVELENGTHs theme, and begin using the wavelengths address to access it.

    At the same time he wants those who are accustomed to going to ifcamedia.org/fireinmybones, or who have shortcuts/links to that address to be directed to the wavelengths blog (which has retained all the current content, readers, followers, subscribers of the fire blog).

    Can this be done? If so, how?

    Thanks!

  • The content from Fire can be exported and imported into Wavelengths.

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

    Then use a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file to send users from fcamedia.org/fireinmybones to ifcamedia.org/wavelengths. There are several methods and many options for doing redirects in .htaccess. Google “.htaccess 301 redirect” to get more info on which method might be right for your client.
