Display articles across multiple blogs by tag

[Jackson_Cunnin2]

We have 2 legacy blogs, each with articles that get significant search traffic. We're looking to build a new consolidated blog, so that from the users perspective, there's only one parent blog with subcategories. Each subcategory might have articles from each of the 2 legacy blogs.

The way I thought we could go about this was to create a parent blog template which links to subcategories. A subcategory would be a URL that displays articles from *any* blog based on a given tag. Is there any way to display all articles from multiple blogs based on tag? Or will it cause issues on pagination etc?

Moving articles from one blog to another is out of the question unfortunately because it forces a URL change which could jeopardize our search traffic.

Imagine if migrating platforms, changing domain names, etc etc , that thinking would not work at all.

Urls change, redirects work; as do buttons leading visitors to the update articles.

Using liquid to weaving articles from a blog into another blogs articles will cause pagination issues and has to be adjusted with pagination offsets.

And will of course only work for customized template in the online sales channel; so things like external channels or apps will choke on that setup.

Through advanced customization for any template working with tags to return specific resources.

See blog and article objects

Or with a custom search set to only return the target blogs articles with the tag.

Also see the section rendering api for frontend ajax

You actually could move your articles to another blog if you made use of canonical URLs, which would basically tell search engines that you have multiple copies of the same article and you should prioritize one in search.
