Old site links need to work on wordpress

  • I have a site that will soon be a wordpress site but I need the links that work on the old site, to work on the new wordpress site. Can anyone help?

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

  • If you are referring to a WordPress.ORG install you are posting to the wrong support forum. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate, have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  • If you are referring to a free hosted WordPress.COM blog then post the URL please so we can take a look and get started. Note that this is the syntax of all WordPress.com permalinks and it cannot be changed

  • The site I’m running for demonstration is wordpress.com. The site that I don’t have access to until Monday is actually a DreamHost.com account. Is this still the wrong forum? If so I’m sorry and won’t waste your time, but if not, and for the purposes of taking a look, the site in question is jincyswalls.com. The links that need to work are jincyswalls.com/contact_us/ , jincyswalls.com/testimonials/ , etc. Please note that the errors on the site were an accident by a third party and will be fixed shortly. Thanks
