    Hi,

    I have a client that is switching their domain name.

    They have sent out many links to their current blog posts: eg. domain.com/post-name/

    and they want the users to still be able to click those urls, but go to the new domain version of the posts: eg. newdomain.com/post-name/

    Is there a quick way to achieve this? If I redirect domain.com to newdomain.com will the post urls automatically redirect too?

    I read some other article that says you can put something in the theme template to achieve this, but I’m not sure where I’d do that with X.

    Many thanks!

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in.

    Please edit your old site’s .htaccess file and replace the existing rewrite rules with this

      RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
  RewriteRule (.*)$ http://newdomain.com/\ [R=301,L]

    Hope this helps.
