Redirect your old tumblr links to your new url–the correct way!
A quick Google search told me that apparently no one knows how to do this properly :P You can redirect all your links from your old tumblr url to the same respective links on your new tumblr url (as long as you have your old url saved i.e. on a sideblog). This isn’t just redirecting to your new tumblr’s homepage.
This is like going to:
http://oddhouredproductivity.tumblr.com/tagged/tips (try it!)
and the URL automatically changes to:
http://oddhour.tumblr.com/tagged/tips
If you’ve ever tried to find a post from someone’s old url on their new url, you know how annoying it can be.
How to use: Add this script either before your end body tag (</body>) or in the head section (<head></head>) of the tumblr where you saved your old URL. Change oddhour.tumblr.com to whatever your new URL is.
<script>
/* redirect to new blog :: questions? ask oddhour on tumblr */
location.replace('http://oddhour.tumblr.com' + location.pathname);
</script>
- To add a delay before redirecting, refer to this post.
- For a simple redirect theme like mine or for an example of this script in use (with delay), see the code here.
- Have a question? First check the #redirect code tag.
