now google is penalizing me for a broken link. Is there anyway to do a redirect in wordpress.com to get around this issue?

This is the new, custom URL. The old url (now broken) is: http://mygirlfundreviews.com/is-mygirlfund-a-scam-factual-review/

You are right, that should have read google penalized me FOR a broken link. Thanks for the quick response!

I have a self hosted blog that's linked to my WordPress.org account. I've recently moved hosts. Everything has migrated happily, except that the wordpress.com link isn't working correctly.

For example, the old site has wordpress installed to the '/wordpress/' directory, and the new host just has it under the root '/' directory. Now if I want to post an article from the WordPress.com account, it attempts to access '/wordpress/wp-admin/post-new.php' when it should be accessing '/wp-admin/post-new.php'.

Is there any way to force wordpress.com to refresh the new blog's information?

I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting Jetpack, to no avail.

Thanks in advance for your time.

You are in the wrong forum. There are two flavors of WordPress.
wp.COM and wp.ORG

You appear to have a self-hosted blog using WordPress.ORG software.

Please understand that this forum is for advice about using the WordPress.COM platform.

The two are very different. Please read this:

You want this forum:

See here in your footer:

I have reports from SEO of a broken link back to a blog post from June 2010. The blog post appears and displays as part of list of all posts made in June. But the individual permalink to the blog post is broken.

Here is the individual broken blog post URL

http://www.lobsters-online.com/lobsterfly/index.php/2011/06/06/get-the-dad-who-thinks-he-already-has-everything-something-really-lively-this-father%E2%80%99s-day/

The blog post appears displays fine as part of the three blog post listing for the month of June 2010

http://www.lobsters-online.com/lobsterfly/index.php/2011/06/

When I click on the headline for the permalink it takes me to the:

"This is embarrassing page"

and shows up as a broken link in SEO.

I need help understanding why this URL no longer works. And I need help to fix this broken URL without losing all the back links from other websites?

I am not positive it is connected to the problem, but a month ago I tried to update the template theme I use and the update failed. I never tried again, but shortly after I discovered this broken link:
