Do you ever want to change your permalink structure and then ended up having a lot of error 404 (not found) reported? With this plugin, you can safely change your permalink structure without breaking the old links to your website, and even doesn’t affect your search engine ranking.

Many people (including me) want to change their permalink structure from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/ or /%postname%/ but by doing this all the pages that has been indexed by search engine become invalid, moreover, you will lose your visitors from other sites or those bookmark that links to you.

There is a way to tell the search engines that the page has been moved and the old address should be replaced by the new one. It is called “301 redirect”, also known as a Permanent Redirect. Only when you do this the Search Engine will update their indexes and you won’t loose your pagerank.

If you are not sure how to do the 301 redirect and don’t want to loose traffic to your blog, you can download this Permalink Migration Plugin from Dean. This plugin will generates a “301 Redirect” when user or spider visit your site through old permalinks,and redirect them to the new permalinks of the same post.Do not fear to change your permalink structure now, you would never lose any visitors due to changed addresses.
