Changing Permalinks without breaking links

  • I am using Genesis New theme and I want to change my permalink structure from datacenterevents.info/?page_id=579 to datacenterevents.info/category-name/post-name without breaking any external links. How do I go about setting up redirects so that old links from Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin redirect to the newly structured permalinks.

  • Howdy,
    So, your old links on Twitter, Facebook, etc. are in the format:
    datacenterevents.info/?page_id=579, right?

    When you change the permalinks setting on your WordPress site, those old links should still work without any special workarounds.

    Take care,
    Paul
