The bans bit was under a directory called "shop" and although I have deleted that folder I cannot get it to redirect to a page on the new site. I asked HG and this is what they have said "This is failing because of the word press Rewrite rules for your wordpress blog, Since shop does not exist as a file or a directory it fails. When I attempt to create a file or directory named shop it still does not work," do you know what I have to do to get it to work? thanks<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('18913','Cherie'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('18913','Cherie','I have 1 site left that I have sort of converted over to phpbay but it was a wp\/bans site (done with your instuctions).

“This is failing because of the word press Rewrite rules for your wordpress blog, Since shop does not exist as a file or a directory it fails. When I attempt to create a file or directory named shop it still does not work,”

do you know what I have to do to get it to work?

IF it earns enough for you to justify spending a few hours creating all the redirects one at a time, then it may be worth the rewards. Otherwise.. htaccess 301 on the root of the old site, and drop in a single html index.html file, that says "We Moved", with a link to the new site. ALL should be redirected, but in case something makes it past (I HAVE seen it happen often) the htaccess, it will just be a closed / moved landing page.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('18872','Mark Hansen'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('18872','Mark Hansen','<a href=\'#comment-18871\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Cherie<\/a> - I would simply base it off time versus earnings then Cherie.\r\n\r\nIF it earns enough for you to justify spending a few hours creating all the redirects one at a time, then it may be worth the rewards.\r\n\r\nOtherwise.. htaccess 301 on the root of the old site, and drop in a single html index.html file, that says \"We Moved\", with a link to the new site.
