How To: Redirect A Feedburner Feed to Another Feedburner Feed
January 17th, 2008
If you decide to switch domains, or just want to use a new Feedburner URL for your feed, there is a way to make the switch while making it as easy as possible for your subscribers to make the transition.
Feedburner has a built in Feedburner redirect that anyone can use with the following easy steps:
- Create your new Feedburner feed.
- Click the feed you want to delete.
- Click Edit Feed Details.
- Enter the URL for the new Feedburner feed in the source feed field.
- Click Save.
- Now Delete this feed and enable 30 day redirection.
This will cause the old feed to show the same content as your new feed for 15 days. For the remaining 15 days your feed will then display a message to your subscribers on your old feed prompting them to now subscribe to the new feed (which it provides).











Great info Kyle , never knew about this .
Nice to know that Feedburner offers this! They have really made it simple to use and that’s the way it should be.
It could be better, but overall it isn’t to bad. I just wish subscribers wouldn’t have to actually subscribe to the new feed manually, but instead have it done automatically by Feedburner.
Just wanted to thank you for this little tutorial. I had a site with 2 feeds ( some sort of mess-up from months ago, no doubt ), and this fixed it quite nicely. Now all the subscribers are on the main feed, and all is right with the world.
@ Llama – Great to hear! It took me awhile to figure it out when I did it. My post above would have been useful. LOL! That is why I wrote it.
