Recently, there was a WordPress update released. It was the 3.3.1 which now enables you to change your permalink structure to domain+postname. Which is really cool. Say goodbye to those unwanted numbers. You got attracted to it so you changed it right away. :110: Without thinking that this may affect your search engine visitors. :14: Your old blog posts that you used with your old permalink structure will be the one in the search engine. :67: So basically, if they clicked that, they will be redirected to a “Error 404” page. :71: And of course, you don’t want that! :4: Good thing I noticed from my feedjit widget that a lot visitors get redirected to a “page not found” page. I got curious and check it out. :130: I got furious when I found out it was because I changed my permalink. :93: I got sad and thought of disregarding it. :a: I thought there wont be a way to fix it but realizing my best friend Google can always help me find the solution to my problem. :13: I thought there might be a plugin for this because I am sure I am not the first person to encounter this error. :googlyeyes: Google, Google, voila! I first tried “Dean’s Permalink Migration,” to my disappointment, it didn’t work for me. :41: I didn’t gave up! I went to Permalink Moved Permanently and tadah!! :40: I got my problem fixed! I shared this plugin because I don’t want to keep the solution to myself. :av: Hope this helped you guys! Comment if it did. :99: If you want to try Dean’s Permalink Migration, you can do so, just Google it. I didn’t placed the link here because it didn’t worked for me, probably because it’s an old plugin. :cute: Anyhow, I will wait for your comments if it did helped you. :givelove:
Thanks,
can this plugin make hosting overload?
