Hello, i just finished reading all docs about Vivvo included the import of wordpress posts. I'm convinced about migration from wordpress to Vivvo but i must know if single posts will have same permalinks structure.

My single post structure is for example http://mysite.com/mysinglepost/ and i'm worried that my site that has got about 2500-3000 posts will loose pagerank because google will see at the end of the import anymore the articles.

My question is:

At the end of the import Google will see only 404 errors because it cannot find anymore my old posts although they are correctly ported to Vivvo? My site is very well indexed in Google, i'm worried that all my posts aren't anymore accessible and Vivvo will return only 404 errors...

Vivvo cannot have exact URLs like Wordpress (and it doesn't need to have identical, btw), but what we usually do in such migrations is to create a small script that intercept 404 with temporary redirections (301's) to new URL.

With this all your links on Search Engines and referring sites will lead to same page/article without disruption, 404 or Page Rank loss.

Ok. I received today a reply from yur staff too but i need more info, explanations and to ask some more questions. I'll be glad to book if possibile a chat so i can speak with someone of yur staff more in details about migration, 301 redirect and template customizations for default vivo template. It's natural that i pay your consult before the chat. I don't need more than 1h of chat. For me it's the best solution so i don't waste time trough a lot of emails. You can reply to my personal email. Thanks

Im moving vivvo to a new domain, on old domain i have vivvo old version 4.0.4 installed on new domain i have 4.1.5.2 On old domain I have friendly url category/subcategory/title.html format on new domain as i have version 4152 the format is category/subcategory/articleid-title.html.
I have set up 301 permanent redirect for each category which works perfect except that because the change in url structure i get 404 error page not found on new domain.
Is there a way to set up a redirect where :
mysite.com/category/subcategory/title.html in old domain
will redirect to newmysite.com/category/subcategory/articleid-title.html adding the article id which is the same on new vivvo domain.
Thanks a lot,
