 * I am planning to change the permalink structure of my website, at this time it’s
   like domainname.com/post-name/ and now I am planning it to change something like
   domainname.com/2016/02/postname/ID
 * I know after changing permalink I have to make 301 redirects and as I have around
   3k+ post so doing manually is not the best idea for all post
 * What if I add the following code to .htaccess file? will its redirection work?
 * > `RedirectMatch 301 ^/$3 http://domainname.com/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([^/]+)/(\
   > d+)$`
