In my last post I talked about the migration I made. I’ve made this migration to upgrade my previous installation of wordpress from 2.05 to 2.5: new features were really attracting.
I wanted also fix some minor problems as the url of my blog which was on www.sauvee/com/wp02 to www.sauvee.com/blog.
The problem I face’d was the links inside the post which were not migrated correctly as the full Url is used and was not updated during import. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere…maybe not, anyway it did not worked for me. I though a simple find & replace in the xml file to import would be enough to fix my blog url renaming.
The answer is “no” : the permalinks have to match. So if you do the same migration, do not forget to use the same permalinks.
Second point I wanted to redirect all access to my pevious blog to be redirected to the new blog. The solution I used was to use .htaccess file in my previous blog directory wp02. This works only if you are using an Apache web server.
