 * After looking for this answer, I found a lot of things that looks like this, 
   but it are the same. So here we go. 🙂
 * I have a large blog running. Thousands of posts, a very specific category structure,
   very specific template and a permalink structure that is like: domain.com/category/
   slug.
 * Now I am about to start a rebranding of my site, starting with the installation,
   categories AND the permalink structure — that I want it to be domain.com/slug-
   id.
 * I’m comfortable with the idea of multiple installations, multiple databases. 
   As a matter of fact, I would never touch the “old” one database again, so that’s
   perfectly fine. It would be also ok I moved this old installation to a new folder.
 * BUT I’d like to keep the permalink structure for this old installation and start
   this different one with the new installation.
 * Is it possible? If so, can you guide me how to? 🙂
