Hi!
I have wrote about 150 posts on my site. Now, if I change my permalinks old post’s url is not changing,it stays the same. My current permalink is 2013/12/25/post-name I want to change it to /post-name/ . I have tried to fix this. But I couldn’t do so. So, if someone help me with this problem it will be great for me!
Thanks in advance đ
Pretty permalinks are not part of the theme, but core WP function.
Google “changing permalinks in wordpress” for more information on using a 301 redirect plugin or schema in your htaccess file.
Typically a 301 redirect plugin is needed with some types of permalink changes or you need to manually add all the redirects my hand in your .htaccess file, one per line, e.g.,
Redirect 301 /old/pathwithdate/story/ http://yoursite/story-new-name/
Hope that helped a tiny bit. I think there are a couple of good plugins for this in the wordpress.org plugin repository, http://wordpress.org/plugins/
Yoast did a piece on this awhile back,
http://yoast.com/change-wordpress-permalink-structure/
he created this tool to make some code for adding to your htaccess file to do apache style redirects/pattern matching, but this may or may not work based on your old vs new schema:
http://yoast.com/wp-content/permalink-helper.php
Try that last link, as starting point, follow directions, then take the code and post in your .htaccess file in root of your domain.
If that does not work you will need to hunt down a plugin to do it for you, or manually edit your htaccess file to create manual redirects (pain).
