Can I redirect individual blog posts from WP.com to WP.org?

    I used WordPress.com for a few years but have recently got a domain and moved to self-hosted WordPress. I have moved all of the blog posts across to the new site but have noticed individual blog posts on the old blog are still being viewed. Can I set up redirects for individual blog posts on a WordPress.com site to a WordPress.org site?

    This is the old blog: familydaystriedandtested.wordpress.com
    This is the new site: familydaystriedandtested.com

    Here’s an example of the same content on both sites:
    https://familydaystriedandtestedblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/25/rspb-big-garden-birdwatch/
    http://www.familydaystriedandtested.com/2016/01/rspb-big-garden-birdwatch/

    I understand the ‘Google Gods’ dislike duplicate content. What would be the best way to keep readers and Google happy?

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

    buy the site redirect and send all the traffic to the new site – $13.-/yr – one year should do it – then you can set the contents to Private and leave a single Post up that says “We have Moved” – with a click on link

    that is the only automatic way to do things –

    Or you can delete the content on individual posts and put a link in the post to the new address – but that is a lot of work – I did that for a small site that was moving to a plain html version – and took a while
