# Keep default permalink working

 * My WordPress site is currently working with %postname% permalinks. I would like
   to also allow user to access a post with the default permalink structure:
 * e.g: [http://www.domain.com/?p=123](http://www.domain.com/?p=123)
 * Currently when I access the post like that, it’s redirected to the %postname%
   permalink URL.
 * How to keep both working?

 * People can also access with default permalink structure but they will be redirected
   to new permalink structure

 * Yes, but that is want I want to change. I need user to be able to access using
   default URL (with no permalink) and not be redirected.

 * Then keep default permalink only
