Hi.. I have a blog on Wordpress CMS, who is already doing good at Google. The link structure is, %category%/%postname%. Means, my links are like this, www.abc.com/category/post-title Now, I want to make it all, www.abc.com/post-title But Im afraid, since Google has indexed all of my URLs of this structure, www.abc.com/category/post-title So, is there any way or plugin, which can redirect the new www.abc.com/category/post-title to www.abc.com/post-title automatically, without throwing a 404 error ?
This is just my opinion and my own experience, i have changed my permalink structure a few months ago, and my site was completely gone from Google, it needs a while untill it re-indexed again. And also according to wordpress.org guide, only %postname% can slow down the performance..
