Changing Wordpress Permalinks?

    I am thinking of changing my Wordpress permalink structure from the day into categories. For example instead of

    mysite.com/05/14/post-name-here/
    Code (markup):
    it would be

    mysite.com/category/post-name-here/
    Code (markup):
    Anybody know how to redirect the first URL to the second one, without the visitor getting a 404?

    I believe SEO Platinum has 301 redirects built in. There are a couple of others. Check the WordPress Plugin Directory.

    There is a great plugin called "Redirection" that will do this for you automatically, well the 301s anyway.

    You can change your permalink at General Setting-Permalink at your Wordpress dashboard..

    you can change the structure from permalinks in writing menu in your blog
    the way you describe should get in as following :
    mysite.com/category/post-name-here/
    to ur requested mode by the following code:
    
    /index.php/%category%/%postname%/
    
    Code (markup):
    but I am not sure how to do with out redirect though,

    I was going to say the same thing - definitely try this plugin. It will do this automatically.

    Yes, try Redirection or Advanced permalink. SEO platinum have an issue with that function (read here :http://www.pramudita.com/platinum-seo-pack-vs-all-in-one-seo-plugin.html), but you can try that

    Finally, you can take permalink migration plugins here:

    From advanced permalink page (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/)
