Site change
-
There is a problem with dailyprompt section of this website. I initially had a site called wiz101site.wordpress.com. I renamed it wiz4lyfe.wordpress.com and deleted wiz101site.wordpress.com. However, in the dailyprompt section, all my previous posts that i made with ‘wiz101site.wordpress.com’ are no longer valid. Can those posts be redirected to the same posts in wiz4lyfe.wordpress.com? Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Come to think of it, this is not possible since you deleted the old site. The old posts you made in the Daily Prompt will stay there as if your old site still existed, and if clicked will only show an error message saying the site no longer exists. It could be possible to redirect this traffic to your new site with a redirect upgrade, but it is not possible in your case since you deleted the old site.
I’m quite sure that when you renamed your site the posts you had posted in the Daily Prompt will stay “hooked” to your old site address, even though you renamed it. But I’ve added this thread for staff attention (notice the modlook tag in the sidebar?). A staff member will get back to you to confirm if what I’m saying is correct.

Hi there,
By deleting the old site, you also deleted the permalinks for every post you’ve ever published. It’s not just on the Daily Post where those links no longer work. If you’d shared them on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else, those shared links also won’t work any more.
There is no way to redirect permalinks from a deleted site. So @jjberg83’s answer is correct.
