Change internal link URL structure

  • Hi @ungowp

    Are your old (internal) links working? Do they redirect to the correct page?
    I’ve always discouraged my clients from changing permalink structure on a live site – as it can affect your SEO.

    You can read more on this topic here.
    They also recommend 301-redirects before changing the permalink structure.

    I changed the general URL structure 1 year ago. There are about 4000 articles on the site and each article has internal links to the old URL structure. We also want to change these internal links. In other words, I want to change them permanently at the metadata level, not redirection. If I try to do it manually, it may take 1 year ??

    Ah I see – then i’m not sure how you should approach this.
    I can only think of “Search and replace” – but that requires you knowing the exact URL match (or at least parts of it). I would highly recommend testing this on a local or staging-environment.

    Manually, it might take some time, yes ??
