Is there a plugin that will change url structure of multiple pages at once?
-
We are building a new layout for our website that involves a redesign of all pages. Because each page links to lots of others and many pages will be replacing old pages, we are running into trouble with our url structure that would be difficult to fix manually after publishing the new pages.
Is there a plugin that will replace URLs in a case like this?
Example: We have a website with lots of products: apples, bananas, carrots.
All our live product pages are currently located at the following URLs:
https://www.example.com/products/apples
https://www.example.com/products/bananas
https://www.example.com/products/carrotsWhen we are building the new pages, they have the same names and titles as the old pages. So if we built out the new structure and made it go live, all our new URLs would look something like this:
https://www.example.com/products/apples-somethingdifferent
https://www.example.com/products/bananas-somethingdifferent
https://www.example.com/products/carrots-somethingdifferentBut we don’t want to have URLs like that, for a variety of reasons. We want to launch the new pages simultaneously with the old URL structure.
Right now, for the sake of being able to build all pages with functional links, we are setting the new pages to this:
https://www.example.com/apples
https://www.example.com/bananas
https://www.example.com/carrotsBut we still want to be able, again, to launch all those pages simultaneously with the /products/apples etc. structure.
We have over a hundred pages like this, and some have different parent pages, so in addition to /products/ we might have /fruit/, /growers/, etc.
I hope this wasn’t confusing (bet it was), and I really hope y’all have some ideas for us.
Thanks in advance!
