I have a wordpress blog that I would need to transfer over to my Webflow website. The issue is that I need to do a 301 Redirect : (1) The domain has not changed, its staying the same, (2) The Url will change (the part after the main domain name).
In other words, the wordpress blog post(s) URL is:
[Domain.com]
What is the best way to set up the 301 redirects to accomplish this? Should I create a 301 redirect for each post I am transferring (there are 500 posts)? Or is there a way to write a global 301 redirect that will make transferring a lot easier?
I would be most grateful if you you could please provide me with the old path url I would need to enter, and the new path url I would need to enter. I want to be sure to get these URL correct.
I have tried the following but it does not work
(/index.php → /blog)
(index.php/2018 → /blog)
No way to create 301 from other domains (Only relative urls start with “/”)
301 is for old URL-path, starting with a slash ==> new URL-path, starting with a slash (URL paths not base/absolute domain!) - in other words no way by webflow to create 301 from: https://webflow.com/blog to https://nike.com/blog (It also makes sense).
In your case for 500 posts you should Be careful (First try to create redirect only for one month or group of posts) - otherwise you will lose rank/SEO (Do not shutdown the old WP site until you solve this idea). I am not sure this is not issue of Wordpress.
This trick/idea is wrong (Beacuse the base URL is diffrence).
Thank you for all your input, I don’t need to redirect each article link to the specific new article URL location, I am just looking to redirect to the root of my new blog CMS page.
Work fine but without any power for SEO (keep in mind) - over time all of your old articles Will be removed or dropped in google rankings (In your case even block by robots.txt those pages and thats it).
