    Hi all,
    I just changed my tag- and category base prefix (?), and as a result most visitors coming to my site via Google, is welcomed by a 404.

    So I need to redirect/rewrite/whatever, but I have no idea how. Basically I need google to understand that "tags" (in the middle of the url) has been changed to "xxx".

    Old: domain.com/tags/tagname/article
    New: domain.com/xxx/tagname/article

    Anyone?

    They get a 404? Hmm... any time I've changed my permalinks, WP has handled the redirects.

    I would just change my permalinks, delete my old sitemap, regenerate a new one and resubmit to google

    But... Ive never changed my tag base
