How to change my blog domain an use redirect
-
Hi there,
Can someone please let me know the step by step process to change my blog domain from markthinks.net to another domain which I have recently bought? I can’t find any guidance online for this.
Please can you also tell me if I need to leave the settings pointing to wordpress for markthinks.net in order for the redirect to work?
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have the domain markthinks.net mapped to my blog.
I need redirect so I don’t lose any traffic.

Hi,
So If I understand correctly, you have a new domain and you have already mapped it to your WP account. What you want to do now is to redirect traffic from markthinks.net to this new domain?
What you need to do is go here and click on the new domain you just mapped from the domain list. In the next screen, click Make Primary button. Traffic from all your other domains will be redirected to the primary domain.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.
So by doing it this way will google notice the change in domain and reindex my site for the search engine accordingly?

Hi,
It might take some time for Google to index your site. Verifying your site ownership with Google might help speed up the process.
