I am looking to 301 my old blog.davelevy.info site. This would seem to be complicated by the need to transform the permalinks from .\/YYYY\/MM\/DD\/slug into .\/slug. Here are my notes, …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am using the redirection<\/code>\u00a0plugin and I have set up a rule to redirect from the root i.e. blogs.davelevy.info to davelevy.info\/blog.<\/p>\n

I have logged a support message on their support forum. They replied and pointed me at this page,\u00a0on their site called redirect regular expressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have inserted the following redirection on the target blog. ^\/\\d{4}\/\\d{2}\/\\d{2}\/(.*) \/$1\/<\/code> which translates the old permalink format into the new and shorter one.<\/p>\n

I have inserted the following rules on the old blog i.e. http:\/\/blog.davelevy,info.<\/p>\n

^\/(?!wp-admin)(.*)\u00a0http:\/\/davelevy.info\/$1<\/code><\/p>\n

i.e. for everything except wp-admin, pass the URL onto the new site, I also have a rule to pass the top level blog page onto the new blog home page since the blog is no longer the home page for the new site.<\/p>\n
