Migrating Blog 1's URL to Blog 2's URL within a single WP username.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have two blogs under my username, fordprior (fordprior.wordpress.com & ftems2015.wordpress.com). I would like for the fordprior.wordpress.com domain to house both of these blogs, such that users can access both blogs via a single homepage located at fordprior.wordpress.com, which I am migrating to a self-hosted site (fordprior.com). I cannot transfer the blog because the user is the same (fordprior), nor can I change the address of ftems2015.wordpress.com to fordprior.wordpress.com (because fordprior.wordpres.com is still active and must remain so). Any ideas!

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

  • Are you moving to a self-hosted site or are you purchasing a custom domain and mapping your free wordpress.com blog to it? If you are moving to a self-hosted site (i.e. leaving wordpress.com) you should ask this question on the wordpress.org support forum, as this forum can only assist you with free wordpress.com blogs: http://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t already have a username on that forum, click the register button in the upper right corner so you can post in that forum.

    You cannot have two separate blogs under the same URL on wordpress.com. It might be possible to map the second blog to a subdomain on your custom domain, but I’m not sure: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

    Otherwise you have two options: You can import all the content from ftems2015 to fordprior, essentially merging the two blogs into one. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/

    Or you can leave them separate and then create a custom menu link on fordprior to take readers to the other blog (you can also create a link to the other blog in a text widget in your sidebar). http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
