Wordpress Permalinks and changing to a new domain

Hey guys,

I have setup my website on a testing domain and hosting account and now that I have finally finished the website I want to move it to my real domain & hosting, The problem is that I have hundreds of custom permalinks and I only thought of it now that if I change domains I will lose all of my permalinks or is there some kind of program out there that can automatically update them to my new domain with out losing it all?

Thanks..

 

hi,
just backup all your old wordpress content and database.then install it to your new hosting server goto admin panel desboard setting->permalink c henge the permalink option to default.that's all

 

Yes .for that you need to change htaccess file too.

 

I'm pretty sure this would just put my permalink structure back to default which would cause me to lose all my work.....

 

I'm not sure but you must try this plugin Permalinks Moved Permanently hope it might solve your issue, too!
