broken – yes
google – not well
Though you can use a 301 redirect to make the old URLs go to the new ones
Hi,
If you change the permalinks then it will broke the old links but not affected in google…you need to add this code in htaccess file in order to work with new permalinks and old posts..
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

@b cheers, dammit, wanted to change them, turn then into something nicer.
Are there no htaccess hacks allowing auto redirect? even a plugin?
yo
This will take care of that and redirect all your old posts automatically:

@othellobloke : redirection plugin will not work, it means i have to go through every link and change it, not a viable option.
This is a problem that needs to be addressed, permalinks do need to be changed sometimes, auto redirection would be a nice touch!
