Use for permalinks change, wordpress

    Hello,

    I’d like to change my WP permalinks structure from month/year/postname to just postname. WordPress does not automatically resolve this from the SERPs, so I’ll need to create a redirect from the old post structure to the new. Can I use this plug in to do that? The site is https already.

    I’d like to set up a general redirect not per-post one. This is a longer standing site with much evergreen content and I don’t want to lose rankings. I’d imagine the 301’s would not be needed after google updates the sitemap, but I don’t want a bunch of 404’s in the meantime.

    If I can use this plug in for such 301 redirects, could you please tell me how? e.g. what to enter in the fields.

    Thank you very much.

    @jeffludovici I believe you can use regular expressions (“regex”) to set this up. Given your stated permalink structure, it should look something like:
    * Redirect From: /(\d*)/(\d*)/([A-Za-z0-9-]*)
    [check] Enable Regular Expressions (advanced)

    * Redirect To: /$3
