 * I recently moved by blog from Blogger to WordPress. I ended up with this really
   long custom permalink structure:
 *  `/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/`
 * It’s a little ridiculous. I looked at an article or two, decided the fix looked
   really easy and changed my permalink structure to
 *  `/%postname%/`
 * And found out that regex redirects are not so easy. In fact, they’re pretty darn
   confusing. Ugh.
 * Any ideas what I should enter for my source and target URLs?
 * Thank you so much!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhelp-with-permalink-redirection-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
