What seems to be the case is two things.

1. most have a “2” at the end of the slug for some reason at the old blog but not the new.

2. i have a plugin at the new blog that takes out words like “The” “and” etc.. so I think that screwed some things up on other posts mathinc up…

3. Finally the category and pages at wordpress.com permalinks are not the year/month/day that the posts are so the htaccess code doesn’t work for those and i get error pages

All category pages and pages (not posts) are not redirecting as well because the permalink isn’t the same

389 total post….

probably 80 not redirecting correctly

I’m going to start a new thread for newest challenges…

Thanks for help..

UPDATE: Mika…You Rock!!

Thank you.

It worked however one last question.

some are not redirecting because the slugs are different inside of wordpress.com versus my new site for some reason ..

It seems like about 70% are redirectig correctly and 30% are going to our 404 page.

Should we go in and match the slugs up on the .com site to be the same as the new site?

Also the tags and categories arent’ the same so should we just delte them inside of wordpress.com (our old site) so they don’t show up and go to nothing?

Thanks for any help here

my wordpress.com site is https://www.mynotetakingnerd.wordpress.com

it now redirets to https://www.mynotetakingnerd.com

However none of my posts due even after i put the rediret rule in the htaccess file…

this is an example post:

https://mynotetakingnerd.com/2012/05/21/32-places-to-find-ideas-for-a-blog-post/

And i get an error page and i know that post works..

The only other thing i did was due the name changes to the nameservers at godaddy which i was told to do..

anything?

Thanks

Probably stupid…but do i need to change the “domain.com” to my domains name?

Also i have a htaccess file in my main directory, my publichtml folder, and my blog folder?

Do i just change the main directory one?

alright…

I did the redirect as specified.

The main URL redirects but the posts do not..

Any ideas?

Thank you and I’ll look at these…

Also sorry bout the profanity. Frustration. No reason.

I can’t see a way to edit post or I would take it out.
