        Correct. Site is still live.

          If you have access to the old live WordPress site then you can set up redirects in there from old posts to new, relevant posts on the new site.

          What content was actually duped? I barely see any content at all on goglupe.

            Sorry, not duped as in duplicated content. Duped as in that company took their money and ran.

            I can set up redirects for each page/post? Do I need a plugin for that? I don't have access to the htaccess file.

              Yoast SEO plugin will do it.

                  Yoast will be able to handle it, though you might need to upgrade to premium for the plugin.

                  There are many other capable redirect plugins for WP which should do the trick too.

                    Glad to know that this may not be near as bad as expected. Obviously this is not an ideal situation. The big lesson learned by these folks, take care of your domain!

                        New wrinkle. I added the redirects to the original site (robinsonsllc.net). Pages are redirecting just fine to new site (ababilling.net).

                        However, I get redirected when I try to login to robinsonsllc.net/wp-admin.

                        I didn't add any wildcards, and I certainly didn't redirect the wp-admin. I have no way to get back into the original site now.

                        Any ideas?
