Allrighty tech-heads got a question for ya. I have a member blog that has "graduated" and moved off to her own domain. i would like to redirect her old blog address to her new domain. (also? She paid me.) Mr google helped plenty except for the fact what I typed in did not work.  naturally, there was not a specific example of what I wanted to do and I'm not sure how to handle the whole virtual subdomain and a 301 redirect. redirect 301 sublog.hsj.net to http://hernewdomain.com was a no-go. It's at the bottom of the file, if that helps. |

A quick google tells me that this is what's needed: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^username\.hsj\.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://hernewdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] Damn if I know though. For reference, I got it from here. I see mention of doing it as a server alias which would probably be best. That way, it's done at the apache level and doesn't fill up your htaccess file. |

Ahhh your google-fu is exceeding mine today.  thanks. Forgot to mention new domain is on another server (ie; not mine). wasn't ready to host her yet. Edit: those htaccess lines worked like a charm. i didn;t mind it int he htacces because it;s 2 lines. I doubt I'd have ten people doing this. and if I do get to that spot, I'll host 'em and do it the other way. :d |

The only other thing you could do is create a premium plugin that redirects to whatever address the user wants. I am not sure if a javascript solution would work or a simple redirect subscribing to the the wordpress header function would be enough, but then the user could put in the address through an option in their dashboard and redirect their blog wherever they want. Might be something for the future versus constantly using .htaccess to do it. I know I am going to run into this myself since I also have a few extra lines in the .htaccess now that I wouldn't mind getting rid of  Trent |

Yeah, I'm totally putting on the "whenever" list for a future premium feature. But my heavy coder still has his day job. |

* Luke prefers to let php handle it, so htaccess remains small. An if check in the main index.php file, before it calls blog header. If it's only a blog or two, htaccess is OK, but more than that is really not worth it. |

Could also just use a special theme assigned to only the old site where the index.php grabs the url that's being called, replaces the root of the address with the new site and does a 0 second refresh and sends the visitor on their way.
Nothing gets placed in the server or htaccess. You do have another theme though to keep track of. That's what some of our installs do although they do it quietly. Offer it publicly and you wind up with hundreds of special themes when everybody want to do this.
Hmm, I wonder if this is how wp.com does it with their sunrise file that Donncha has hinted about.

But, why go through loading WP just to redirect?
Doesn't make resource sense.
Load a theme just to redirect? Nah.
Now, sunrise capabilities are another thing. For a large amount of such rewrites, it would make sense. As for how Donncha has it worked out, I've got a pretty good idea about it.

Gonna tell us? :Dthe sunrise file ultimately sounds like a decent solution. And yeah - so far this is *one* blog. I have a mountain of work to do before I even think about making it a publicly announced paid feature.
Edit: permalinks for the blog don't redirect. hmmm. hafta think about that. (whether I even want to, you know?)

I won't be writing something which will permit the user to do this themselves. Barring rare exceptions, this is something that would only be done once for each user. Between education time and errors, we would end up spending more time enabling the user to do it than we would doing it ourselves. |

I would have it close to the top of the .htaccess file as it only works for me that way. If it is below the WPMU stuff it seems to not work. It is at the top of mine.

@Luke. You've spent months staring at that ron's profile picture and you still can't figure who he is? I spent five minutes here and I realised he is andrea's 'heavy coder' and lots more (who do you think he's kissing?). I wish xer could see his profile picture. |

It was that one on the other forum, honey - the where I said some guy didn't know I was a woman.  @fresestnoob - it was funnier a few days ago when Ron & I still had the same avatar. |

We need to make Ron a big, manly avatar. Something with guns, explosions, hunting, fishing, or sports. You know, grown-ass man stuff. Either that or we might have to color his username pink. |
