How to change URL format without changing the existing URL?

  • Hi..

    I want to change the URL(permalinks) format on my site. Its a 2 year old site and has a lot of content indexed.

    Is there a way to change the URL format of the articles that will be published in the future without making any changes to the existing URLs?

    I really hope this is doable.

    eagerly awaiting responses!

    Anyone?

    Hi syedabbas-

    I’m assuming you’re currently using the “ugly” format, and want to switch to the “pretty” format with URL rewriting via the .htaccess file?

    If you do this, your existing permalinks (in “/?p=1234” format) will still work; they’ll just redirect to the new permalinks (in “/yyyy/mm/post-name” format). Some search engines may even pick up on this and update their indices.

    Best Regards,
    Dave
