 * Hi.
 * Just looking for some confirmation on something before I move forward with it.
 * I am looking to change the URLs of 12 posts very slightly. They all have “2015”
   in the title and I would like to remove this or change it 2016. These posts generate
   a decent amount of traffic and are also internally linked quite a lot. SO I really
   want to confirm I am on the right track here. From what I have read wordpress
   will automatically redirect from the old permalink to the new one. So if I change
   my URL from “website.com/this-is-a-2015-post” to “website.com/this-is-a-2016-
   post” then any one trying to access “website.com/this-is-a-2015-post” will automatically
   be redirected to “website.com/this-is-a-2016-post” and any links pointing to “
   website.com/this-is-a-2015-post” will automatically go to “”website.com/this-
   is-a-2016-post” rather than a 404 error.
 * I tested this out on a test site and it seemed to work fine but I want to make
   sure I’m not missing anything here.
 * Note: I don’t want to change the permalink structure at all, I just want to adjust
   the slug on a few posts.
 * Any advice on this is much appreciated.
 * Nate

 * Nate,
 * Having written posts only to realize I typo’d the title and thus the slug…
    Having
   only realized this AFTER I sent out a promotional email… Yes..it does functions
   that way. If you change the slug…the old one will still wok as well.
