WordPress Permalink Redirect – Fixing Broken Permalinks

Monday, June 8th, 2009 | General

I’ve recently changed my Permalink structure.  This changed caused all existing external links to break (boo!).  For example when someone was linking to:

http://madclouds.com/2008/12/08/installing-leopard-on-x86-pc-dell-dimension-4500/

The page would display a “No Page Found” error.  By using Scott Yang’s Permalink Redirect WordPress plug in I was able to specify the old permalink path as:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

And the plug in automatically did a redirect (301) to the new permalink structure.  How perfect!

What do you think?
