I need to transfer my wordpress site to another domain and host.
The old domain is on the domain.com/path, the new is like this: domain.eu
I see that the standard htaccess are designed to redirect from homepage to homepage...what can you do to automatically redirect all the articles on a WP blog on a directory (like domain.com/path) to a site on the root directory (like "domain.eu")
Some web hosts will help you move your site to the new hosting plan, or they may provide tools to assist you in making the move. You may want to ask your new host if anything like this is available.
When manually migrating a site, you will need to update the url settings. And you will have to update all of the internal urls, otherwise you will end up with broken links, broken image references, etc...
Here is a WordPress codex article about moving WordPress that might help: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPressAn easier way to move a WordPress site is some type of backup plugin that allows you to use the backup to migrate the site. I typically move sites around using BackupBuddy. But it is a paid plugin.
