Changing category names without without losing previous post urls

    Hi, I need to change some of the category names and I want to make sure that the urls for all the previous posts are unchanged. Is there a way to preserve this. Especially since there is a hierarchy of categories, so some of the parent category names would change.

    My current permalink setup is: /%category%/%postname%/

    Has anyone done this successfully? I haven’t done it before and want to make sure I do it properly.

    I did find this page: http://blogvault.net/change-wordpress-category-using-redirect-without-losing-seo/

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Just wondering if anyone has thoughts on this or if I need to provide more information on this?
    Maybe I can create duplicate categories with same names but new slugs? And that way I can leave the old categories as they are so the url wouldn’t change.
    Or there might be a third solution?
    Thanks
