   I have a wp website that has the default permalink structure. I want to change the permalink structure to /%postname%/.

   Will wordpress automatically do a 301 redirect on the old url structure, or do I have to install a plugin that will do it?

   Thanks

   In the background, WordPress uses a numerical structure for your posts and pages, so that when you change your permalinks, it can properly route to the new URL.

   So you shouldn't have any problems! Note that you may have problems if you change it in the future (meaning it's ok to change from default to something else, but changing it around afterward may lead to complications). Best thing to do is just try it - you can always revert back to the default structure.

   Same question asked: Is it too late for Permalinks?
