Using Velvet Blues to update internal links
-
Hello Velvet Blues users,
I moved my website from WP.com to Bluehost, powered by WP.
I was planning to use Velvet blues to update all the links that take readers from one post to another within my site, because they still point to the old site.
However, I’ve realised that my permalink structure is also different.
My links look like this:
https://textiletrails.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/goenpaka-kushutara/
They need to look like this:
https://textiletrails.com.au/goenpaka-kushutara/
I’m thinking perhaps I need to
1) change the permalink structure of the new site to show the dates (so they match the old site permalinks)
2) use VB to update my links to the new site’s url
3) change my permalinks on my new site back again to the shorter format.Does this sound like an effective way to proceed?
Or perhaps there is a way to take the dates out of the links at the same time?
I have made a backup of my site, but being a bit green at IT, I’m pretty keen not to do anything that requires me to learn how to use my backup to reinstate my site!
Many thanks for any suggestions
