I’ve been using this plugin for quite some time, and have to say that it works great. This kept me from having to do lots and lots of redirects in my .htaccess file.

@Enblogopedia: That’s interesting about the links because it definitely didn’t work anymore once I went from ?p= to the permalink structure /year/month/day/title. The index page was trying to find the new structure, but since the old pages were published up ?p= it was returning 404′s.

It’s all worked out now anyways w/ the migration plugin.

@wildbluff_matt:If you were using the “id” as permalink then it won’t be a problem, as WP will still understand both new and old(default) structures!

John, the /?p= is the default method of accessing your WordPress posts. Infact even with the new permalink structure you can still access the posts like this… give it a shot

Just take a look to Ajay`s comments, their`re very helpful.
As he said even after changing your permalink, to whatever you want…WP still understand the “/?p=” structure!

@chatca:It takes sometime before google update ALL your links, it may take A LOT of time, but as you`re using 301 redirect nothing(PR..etc) will be lost, so don’t worry.

sometime linked to broken link (page not found). what can i do?
