  I have recently purchased the Site Redirect bundle, and when I tested it, it is not working correctly. The problem:

  When I click on a http://www.dreamingtothefuture.wordpress.com link (the old wordpress.com-hosted blog), I am directed to:

  http://dreamingthefuture.co.za/2014/04/23/hacking-life-an-introduction-to-biohacking-and-transhumanism/

  This page does not exist – it should rather be http://dreamingthefuture.co.za/hacking-life-an-introduction-to-biohacking-and-transhumanism/ (with no date in the URL)

  Please advise

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

  As mentioned at the bottom of http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/ – The site redirect upgrade will not work for URLs that do not have the same permalink structure as your posts on WordPress.com.

  You can change the permalink at Settings -> Permalinks on the dashboard of your self-hosted site. Set it to ‘Day and name’ and the redirection will work.
