   i want to change the post slug from:

   /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

   to

   /%postname%/

   how do i forward old links to new ones?

   I'm thinking this will work:

   RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{1,4})/([0-9]{1,2})/([0-9]{1,2})/(.*)$ http://sushubh.net/$4 [QSA,L]

   I'm a bit rusty with mod_rewrite, so it may need tweaking.

   And make sure to put this somewhere ABOVE # BEGIN WordPress and that RewriteEngine On is somewhere above this new rule.

   now can anyone suggest me some code that i can test run in phpmyadmin to check if any of the post slugs clash with each other? :)

   This feature went into core in 2.3. So it will do it automatically. See this post for more info.
