From iWeb to Wordpress: how keep former pages active ?

#1 Post by Karinamac » 2013-01-02 19:28

Hello,

I've been using iWeb for over two years and I've published hundreds of pages of the magazine Web http://www.example.com. But I can not go on with iWeb, a great software to create sites but hampered by its limitations. I'm going to use Wordpress to build a dynamic site, that will of course have the same URL: http://www.example.com as the former one by iWeb.

My big concern is how to keep active the links to pages already published with iWeb (host OVH)? These links were broadcasted hundreds of times around the world ... I also intend to include them in the "summary" of the new site to direct visitors to the old iWeb version of the magazine.

If someone has successfully migrated from iWeb (or some other soft) to WP could please be so kind as to share his (her) experience in hosting, I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Hi botg,

Many thanks for your answer. I've published over 300 pages. How do I apply a 301 redirection to each of them to redirect visitors to the new file on my FTP space ?

Wikipedia tells about a PHP process and I don't understand. Please take int account that I'm a newbie as far as hasting is concerned.

Best,
