I want to change the permalink structure of my website from
../%postname%/
to
.. /%categroy%/%postname%/
The problem is that there are many backlinks which still link to /%postname%/ and those would return a 404. I tried using plugins but they wont let me use the variables from wordpress.
Now, I want to create a redirect for all those old Backlinks which redirect from
../%postname%/
to
.. /%categroy%/%postname%/
I guess an easy solution would be to modify the htaccess file but I have no idea how to do this? Or are there actually any plugins which handle that problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

You could use this plugin if you want to use Wordpress plugins, and follow those instructions to make things work
Currently I am using Wordpress v3.4 and using the following Permalink Custom Structure
/%category%/%postname%-%post_id%.html
Now I want to remove .html from it so I did like this
/%post_id%/%postname%/
I want to 301 redirect from old structure to new one.
Does anyone have the solution or suggestion?
Just use Redirection WordPress plugin to manage 301 redirections, keep track of 404 errors, and generally tidy up any loose ends your site may have.
Honestly, you should have never had put the extension, honestly I am surprised that Wordpress allowed this. However, if you change the permalink structure, usually it updates all previous posts and pages. Is that not the case here?
I am moving my site from Drupal to Wordpress.
In Drupal, I can easily give an alias to URL and this alias could be anything., ie: www.example.com/abc/xyz/hello.html
But in Wordpress, it appears that I cannot do that with WP out of the box.
Any hint on how to do the same with Wordpress? I need to keep URL consistence.
Thank you
I just found out this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/ and used it to add caracters like slashes and points, to the urls of a website i am moving to WordPress, so far it's working.
Hope it will help !
You may be interested in Settings -> Permalinks, but I think you want more than that.
Take a look at the feature list for the redirection plugin. This allows you to setup redirects to other pages or do pass through redirections. If this isn't what you are looking for then I think there are a couple other plugins that may accomplish what you want. Hope this helps!
You can change the default urls in the Settings -> Permalinks. You should also have the option to change the permalink when you add or edit a post. There are also plugins available for permalinks (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/)
I have changed my permalink structure in WordPress.
Can a plugin help me redirect old links to the new?
Thanks!
Redirection works for this, however for it to automatically detect the permalink changes, you'll probably have to revert the permalinks, install Redirection, and then change to the desired permalinks again.
If this isn't adequate, you can add them manually, and it has tools to help you find 404's that you were not aware of.
I need some help with an .htaccess rewrite.
I have a site that had this permalink:
/archive/%post_id
and changed it to this:
/%postname%/
I have tried every single permalink redirect and change plugin - none of them work for this scenario.
The site has 15,000 posts, adding one line 301 redirects in the .htaccess file isn't going to work.
Can someone help me add a rewrite that will redirect all instances of /archive/%post_id to /%postname%/ ?
any help appreciated!
I know you said you tried all the plugins, but just in case, did you try this one:
http://www.shoutmeloud.com/how-to-use-deans-permalink-migration-plugin-for-wordpress.html
Looks like it dynamically creates 301s for you without SEO damage. Written in 2006, still working in 2009 - you might be able to tweak the code to get it working how you want.
If that is the 'quick' solution then the 'long' solution would be to write an app to lookup the postname by postid in your mysql db and then change each post URL in your wordpress database with the postname value.
