I need a few good beta testers to install my Blogger-Archive-Label-Fixer plugin.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
You can download the plugin: Blogger-Archive-Label-Fixer plugin<\/a>. <\/p>\n I will not upload this to WordPress until a few people test it out and, hopefully, make suggestions for improvement.<\/p>\n This is from the readme.txt file.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n == Installation ==<\/p>\n 1. Download the plugin.
\n2. Upload the plugin to your wp-content\/plugins directory.
\n3. Activate the plugin.<\/p>\n
