  • There’s one solution offered by famous Joost de Valk.
    He created a tool that generate redirects from your old permalinks to your new ones.You just add a piece of code in your htaccess, generated by that tool. More info here.
    Please, read the comments and use at your own risk. It would be best to backup your database and htaccess before doing anything.
