404

    Hi there! I recently moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org where my site is being hosted by bluehost. The issue I’m having is that I paid wordpress.com to redirect all somedaysunny.com (my wordpress.com account) to my new self hosted blog (my wordpress.org account), http://www.kailybaute.com. Unfortunately, it appears that EVERY link I ever used to refer to another post of mine is getting a 404 page not found error code. I already checked with bluehost and they confirmed that this would be something to speak with wordpress.com about seeing as how all of my data should be redirected and if I’m getting error codes then it’s not working right. Please help!

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

    I wanted to take a moment to update you all and let you know that any links I have that were appearing in google searches are also not working. For example, I did a review on a product a few months ago and to date that product causes the highest volume of traffic on my blog. Until today, because any time someone clicks that link in google they are taken to a 404 page not found error page. It does route to the new blog, it just does not route to the part of the blog it’s supposed to. Please help!

    Hi Kaily,

    Normally this issue happens when your self-hosted site is using a different Permalink structure than your previous site on WordPress.com. But attempted visiting these two links using your old sites and they both correctly redirected to your self-hosted site as we’d expect:

    http://somedaysunny.com/2015/05/22/so-many-problems-so-little-time/

    Here’s a video of the test:

    Can you please provide one of the links that is 404ing?
