Last summer I wrote about the Redirection Plugin and how it can assist when moving a site to a new domain or directory.
Recently, however, I ran into an error where when a new blog post was published that post would become the front page of the site. I wasn’t sure how to fix it other than turning off the plugin, which wasn’t that useful when I had it set up to redirect pages so vistors didn’t get 404 errors.
Finally, I discovered the setting that I needed to turn off to avoid this problem.
On Monday I discussed the Update URL’s plugin that will update the image and internal links on your WordPress site when you move it to a new domain or directory location.
You also want to make sure that your visitors don’t get lost and get 404 errors when they access your site or follow bookmarks to it. In other words you don’t want to lose or confuse visitors who are still coming to your site via the old URL.
