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 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,
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: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=permalink+migration&sort= From advanced permalink page (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/)
