    Hi, I am currently using the default permalink structure for my blog, but I wanted to make them more SEO friendly. I’ve been messing around with with the permalink structure and it seems to break all of my previous posts. Is there any way I can change my permalink structure and keep my previous posts from breaking?

    How and where are you changing your permalinks? It should not break the link on your previous posts at all…Does your server have mod_rewrite enabled??

    I’m pretty sure my server has mod_rewrite enabled and I’m just using the %postname%-%post_id% code from the wordpress codex

    I’ll check the mod_rewrite thing again though

    I just checked back with my host and they said that mod_rewrite was enabled. I’m still having problems getting wordpress to use a different permalink structure. Everything still breaks… any ideas? I’m completely clueless

    EDIT: Aslso to reiterate what is going on:

    The actual link name changes but I am getting a file not found on server error: (link to screenshot of error) https://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8461/errorpw.jpg

    I have a linux server running apache with mod_rewrite enabled and everything.
