Need to move WordPress to a new domain? Make sure you follow the proper process so that you don’t lose your SEO rankings in the process!
See, the actual process to move WordPress to a new domain is fairly simple. You basically just need to copy your files to a new folder on your host and update your database.
But keeping your SEO rankings when you move WordPress to a new domain name takes some care. To that end, I’m going to show you both parts of the process in this post. That is, you’ll learn exactly how to:
0:38 | Move WordPress to a new domain
4:21 | Keep your SEO rankings
To add 301 redirects, all you need to do is edit the .htaccess file for your old site and include the following code:
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Just make sure to replace http://www.newdomain.com/ with the actual link to your new domain name.
