Ok. That's it. I think I need to change my permalinks. Currently I use: /%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/ I want to change it to: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ I know that if I just change it, everything will be ruined with loads of 404s. Can someone teach me how to setup a 301 or is there some sort of a WordPress plugin that'll do this for me automatically? Thanks.
Before chaing URL structure, just make your htaccess file writable. Then change the option - Dont worry, wordpress will do it automatically I did this many time. Let me know if it works or not - definitely it will work
Maybe I didn't make this clear... I'm concerned about the link backs that I have. My site has been up since August 2006 and have quite a bit of link backs. I want to prevent a scenario where a user may search on a SE, click on my site, and then be presented with a 404 error. Thanks.
That plugin seems to do the job for me at least. Hopefully it will for all the SEs and bookmarks, etc. Thanks! Just out of curiosity and for learning purposes if this plugin were to not exist, what would I have had to have done?
Ouch that would have been painful, 301 redirects, some changes to your .htacess file, etc. Thank God for plugins! lol
