# Permalink structure redirection

 * I have the following URL permanlink for the last 10 years:
    Personalized structure:/%
   post_id%/%postname%/
 * Till recently, I could share shorter URLs, such as:
    [http://www.mydomain.com/19014/](http://www.mydomain.com/19014/)
   That would be redirected to: [http://www.mydomain.com/19014/post-title/](http://www.mydomain.com/19014/post-title/)
 * It was very helpful for social sharing.
    Since recently, I believe last wordpress
   update, when I access: [http://www.mydomain.com/19014/](http://www.mydomain.com/19014/)
   I am displayed the page right there, with no redirection. Canonical link does
   display the full url, but I am wondering if it wouldn’t be best SEO wise to directly
   redirect them to the full URL as it used to do.
 * Anyway I can return this to old behavior, redirecting to the full url?
    Or, could
   someone confirm it would not affect my SEO if I continue to create social links
   to my shortened url, even though it does not redirect, because of it’s canonical
   link? Thanks.

 * We have the same issue. All of out posts are [http://www.mydomain.com/post-name/](http://www.mydomain.com/post-name/)
   and we want [http://www.mydomain.com/blog/post-name](http://www.mydomain.com/blog/post-name)
   etc. We have many many blog posts so it seems we need to now add a db query to
   check if [http://www.mydomain/somepagename](http://www.mydomain/somepagename)
   is a blog post for every single url query on our website. Talk about blowing 
   up the db use.
 * Our SEO guy says it is better to have a more hierarchical structure for the links.
   I wish WP had better link structure options.

 * gunnerman1, your issue is completely different. Just setup your permalink as “/
   blog/%postname%/” and you’re done, I believe.
 * Hope someone can help me redirect:
    /%post_id%/ to: /%post_id%/%postname%/

 * Anyone? How can I make it redirect:
    /%post_id%/ to: /%post_id%/%postname%/
 * Just as it always did till recently.
