@mollydotcom @brightwhite Give me an example URL from the old blog. I think I have an idea.

@brightwhite @mollydotcom My hope is that the permalink style is date-based. If that’s the case, it’s just regex.

@jearle @mollydotcom should be easy in that case to change the root domain. When the structure changes completely, it’s much harder.

@brightwhite @mollydotcom redirect all 2011 pages: RewriteRule ^/2011/(.*)$ newsite.com/2011/$1 [L,NC,NE,R=301]

@jearle Jared, so I'd add that to .htaccess at root for each year? Or if you have time to just do it, I'll buy ALL the virtual beverages!
2
@mollydotcom Does your .htaccess look like this?
2
@jearle That is the .htaccess at the www level, archive.molly is sub to that.

@mollydotcom And yes, this is the root .htaccess file you need to add the text to.

@jearle You can see from archive.molly that all links from it are dead, and all links within it (external script/CSS etc) are x'd too.

@mollydotcom That’s because you didn’t fix the database before migrating it.

@jearle This is what happens when overwork, exhaustion and illness collide. :/ Any suggestions?
