Permalinks Migration

Posted at 2nd December 2008 · Filed in Blogging Tips

I have been making some changes to my old blog lately. I told you that my old blog will be used for my experiments.

Earlier I changed the theme. Last Friday, I changed the permalinks from /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/

Uploaded the Permalinks Migration Plugin for WordPress. Traffic started to drop at first, but after a few days it is back to normal and the migration plugin works without any problem.

You can find the details on how to use the Permalinks Migration plugin here.

So, if you are thinking to modify your permalinks, especially after blogging for more than 6 months, you should consider using this plugin.

    for your case, since u just started, no need to use this plugin, just change your permalinks. but before that, try to understand the usage first. i hv written about it before but hv not posted, sebab x complete :)
