I need a few good beta testers to install my Blogger-Archive-Label-Fixer plugin.
After you migrate from Blogger.com FTP, your archives and labels are all screwed up so any links from search engines or other websites result in a 404-file-not-found error. You don’t want to lose this traffic, so I wrote a plugin to redirect these blogger style urls to wordpress style ones.
You can download the plugin: Blogger-Archive-Label-Fixer plugin.
I will not upload this to WordPress until a few people test it out and, hopefully, make suggestions for improvement.
This is from the readme.txt file.
If you just migrated your FTP Blogger.com to WordPress, this will rewrite the urls to the old blogger style archives and labels to the WordPress category and date structure.
When the plugin detects a 404 it looks to see if there is a string in the url that is most likely an archive or a label. It then reformats the URL and does a 301 redirect to the correct page. Users will see the right page and search engine spiders will update their indexes.
== Installation ==
1. Download the plugin.
2. Upload the plugin to your wp-content/plugins directory.
3. Activate the plugin.
If you are using my Permalink-Finder plugin, this blogger fix plugin must be installed first, and then the permalinks finder. It is possible that the permalink finder will find the category name in a post and send the user to the post if it is first on the chain.
== Support ==
This plugin is in active development. All feedback is welcome on My WordPress and other program development.
