Redirecting visitors to old WordPress blog to new Premium one

  • jessicaeholland · Member ·

    I’ve mapped a couple of my old domain names onto my new WordPress premium blog so that visitors to those will redirect there. I have an old WordPress blog (cultureparty.wordpress.com) and I would like anyone who still has that address to also be redirected to jessholland.co.uk – however that one doesn’t seem to be working like the rest. Is this possible?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The subscription for domain mapping an existing domain is $13.00 per year per blog. And you need to have an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to domain map from to the domain URL.

    You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog and purchase upgrades for it.

    If you would like to use your domain name purchased elsewhere and map from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it, then you will first need to set up domain mapping by following these steps. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
