How do I redirect (I think that's what it's called)?

    I hope I can explain this understandably. I actually have two issues:

    Issue #1
    My WordPress site is https://www.CarefreeRomanticVacations.com. I also own https://www.RedlandsTravelAgent.com, registered with WhoIs. I am currently forwarding RedlandsTravelAgent.com to CarefreeRomanticVacations.com, but instead I want to redirect (I think) RedlandsTravelAgent.com to CarefreeRomanticVacations.com. The purpose for this is because I want people searching for “Redlands Travel Agent” to find RedlandsTravelAgent.com and when they click on it, be directed to CarefreeRomanticVacations.com.

    Issue #2
    When someone clicks on RedlandsTravelAgent.com, how would I go about changing that page only (may need to be a totally separate page) to show some information about Redlands Travel Agent, while the site is really CarefreeRomanticVacations.com. Also, any suggestions on how to best do that, so the visitor does not feel that they were “tricked”.

    Please explain in depth. I am a WordPress newbie. I had my current site built for me.

    I believe you could simply add a little code to htaccess in the root folder for RedlandsTravelAgent.com and send that traffic on over to CarefreeRomanticVacations.com. Merely guessing from something I am doing with two domains at one server, that code *might* look something like this:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^RedlandsTravelAgent\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.RedlandsTravelAgent\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/CarefreeRomanticVacations\.com\/" [R=301,L]

    When someone clicks on RedlandsTravelAgent.com [and lands at CarefreeRomanticVacations.com], how would I go about changing that page…to show some information about Redlands Travel Agent…

    I would possibly just add something to the existing CarefreeRomanticVacations page to let folks know RedlandsTravelAgent had sent them on over.

    Thank you @leejosepho. I should mention that I have nothing set up at RedlandsTravelAgent.com

    If I have to do something to RedlandsTravelAgent.com I would be starting completely from scratch.

    If you already own the domain and have a place to put the htaccess file, I believe you could do something like the above even though RedlandsTravelAgent has nothing to show.

    Thank you. What do I look for in my existing HMTL to add this to?

    The type of code I have mentioned will be found at your server. In my own case, I use FileZilla and an SFTP connection to go to my public-html folder (directory) at the server where there is an .htaccess file telling the server where to find the files for mysite.com…and there is where I have added the above code to tell it to send myotherdomain.com to wherever.
    note: I believe you are trying to do the opposite, but the principles are the same.

    I would assume you have a similar setup at your own server (host), and your best bet would be to contact Support at your server to be sure you know what is where to do what and to have them help you establish a FileZilla-SFTP connection if you are comfortable with editing your own .htaccess file at the server.
