Permalink Structure Issue

  • I got kind of a tricky question for you guys today. I recently moved my blog over from the ireporter.tv platform back to my self hosted wordpress platform. When I transfered my articles over, however, I noticed an frustrating difference between the permalink structures. My old site used /%year%/month/%postname%/. While this seems similar, I have spent hours online and not found a wordpress equivilent to express the month, only monthnum. Is there any way I could set the permalink structure to use the month name instead of number? If not, is there any way I can set up manual 301 redirects so I don’t lose all my traffic? I have built up pagerank on the old host for quite some time now and would hate to lose it. Thanks for any help,

    Steve

    Hmmm.. I think these would do the redirects for you.

    RewriteRule ^/(.*)/january/(.*) /$1/01/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/february/(.*) /$1/02/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/march/(.*) /$1/03/$2 [R=301,L]
... and so on ...
