 * Hello.
    I see this post with the same issue is marked as resolved but I have 
   the exact same issue and the latest version of the plugin hasn’t resolved this
   for us: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-migration-not-working/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-migration-not-working/)
 * We would like to update the permalink structure from /%postname%/ to /%category%/%
   postname%/
    I have added /%postname%/ into the Permalink Migration field of the
   plugin and then updated the permalinks. No redirects have been created and posts
   now go to a 404 page. Have we missed a step somewhere or is this not working 
   properly? I note there is a message about it still being a beta in beta?
 * Many thanks
 * D

 * It is working properly. However, as detailed, it doesn’t handle every situation
   and a future update may expand it further.

 * Hi John
    Thanks for the response. Maybe I have misunderstood then. When you say
   it is working properly, what is it doing currently with my redirects after I’ve
   updated the permalinks? I was expecting it to redirect anything pointing to /
   postname/ to /category/postname/ Is there something I haven’t done correctly?
   Is there any way we can achieve the above?
 * Many thanks

 * The permalink migration feature is in beta and it doesn’t handle every permalink,
   including yours. This is as intended. At some point in the future it may handle
   every type of permalink. Right now there is nothing you can do.
