Data Transfer & Redirect Page
-
I currently have a blog under the domain http://www.margaretpwilliams.com. I recently purchased the domain http://www.magnoliaatelier.com with HRC. I would like to use the magnolia atelier domain with wordpress and transfer all of the data/content on margaretpwilliams to magnolia atelier. I then will need to set up a redirect page on margaretpwilliams.com to direct visitors to magnoliaatelier.com. How can I do this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
You can purchase domain mapping for magnoliaatelier.com and map it to your underlying WordPress.con site at margaretpwilliams.wordpress.com, just as you did for margaretpwilliams.com. If you keep the domain mapping current for margaretpwilliams.com, but make the new domain (magnoliaatelier.com) the primary domain, then all visitors to any of these three addresses will end up on the same exact site, showing magnoliaatelier.com in the address bar.
You will not need a site redirect at all.
However, if you wish to reuse margaretpwilliams.wordpress.com for a different site, you can create a new blog on WordPress.com under your current or a new username, purchase mapping as above, and then purchase a site redirect for margaretpwilliams.com to point it to magnoliaatelier.com. You will also need to export your content from margaretpwilliams.wordpress.com and import it to your new blog.
I understand that this may be confusing so please let me know if you have any questions.
Here are the links for domain mapping and site redirect options as well:
