  Hello,
  I want to spend my blog to WordPress.org because it’s currently under WordPress.com with the following URL : monpetitbikini.wordpress.com
  Passing under WordPress.org I’ll give it a custom URL , example “www.monpetitbikini-blog.com” so I asked whether it is possible to do URL redirects the previous articles to the new blog ?

  Thank you for your answer.
  Have a nice day.

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

  Hi there,

  You can purchase a Site Redirect upgrade to redirect visitors from your WordPress.com blog to another blog elsewhere. You can purchase that from the WordPress.com Store here:

  Redirect [Redirects to Site Redirect Support Page]

  Please read that support page timethief and I linked to carefully, especially this note:

  Please note: In order for the Site Redirect to work correctly, the permalinks on the new site (the one you’re redirecting to) should match those at WordPress.com. WordPress.com uses the following permalink structure:

  http://example.com/2014/10/21/sample-post/

  If the new site you’re redirecting to does not use this permalink structure, the redirect will try to find a post on your new site that matches the post URL from your WordPress.com site, but some visitors may see an error message indicating no matching post could be found.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
