  Hi guys,

  I recently purchased the site redirect upgrade… i have a problem. the redirects work only for the mainsite from hopeinablog.wordpress.com to http://www.hope-inablog.com. But it doesnt work for all the other articles because they have a different ending on both sites.

  For example on the old site : hopeinablog.wordpress.com/category/aritaum/ , but on the new site it is http://hope-inablog.com/?cat=11, but the wordpress redirects it to http://www.hope-inablog.com/category/aritaum/ but this one doesnt exist.

  How do i fix this? or is there a way that i can redirect every article to the main page of my new site?

  thanks!
  Blog url: http://hopeinablog.wordpress.com/

  The site you are redirecting to (assuming it is a WordPress installation) should use the same permalink structure as on WordPress.com, i.e. <year>/<month>/<day>/<post title>/ and probably a “category base” named “category”

  if not, is it possible to redirect all my articles on the old site directly to the main page of the new blog?

  I’m afraid the Site Redirect upgrade has no such option, that you can set, sorry.
