Hi
I want to change my Permalink Structure from:
http://www.####com/2007/02/10/what-ever/

To:
http://www.####.com/what-ever/

I searched a lot about it and found the way
but I`m not sure from it!
I need to add this to the .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.+) http://www.enblogopedia.com/$1

Is this the right way?!
Note that, I`m doing this for SEO...

You might like to take a look at this plugin.

Do post the results.

Thanks ajay, it works!
I didn't wanted a plugin but why bother my self messing with the .htaccess file!

thanks again

forget the plugin - do the following:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Redirect Old Permalinks
RewriteRule ^enblogopedia.com/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ http://www.enblogopedia.com/$4 [R=301,L]

# These are the standard WordPress Rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Everton's Solution above will also work well.

Oh...!!
I really should enable automatic notification!!!
I didn't see Everton`s post till now!!

Thanks..I`ll disable the plugin and use your method since the plugin has disadvantages especially with the old feed links!

[Enblogopedia]

Please Guys check this post and tell me, Should does Everton`s way solve the old feed links problem or I should use the rule I already have so my htaccess will be like:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Redirect Old Permalinks
RewriteRule ^enblogopedia.com/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ http://www.enblogopedia.com/$4 [R=301,L]
[color=red]# Redirect Old Feed Links
RewriteRule ^[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/([^/]+/feed/?.*) $1 [R=301,L][/color]

# These are the standard WordPress Rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/.*/feed/) $1/feed/
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thank you!
