   I changed my permalink structure to be

   /%postname%/ from /%year%/%month%/%date%
   /%postname%/ and can't seem to get a mod rewrite rule to fix this.

   It is a relatively young blog and so for the popular links I just made Redirects to the new URI but I want to clean up my .htaccess file and use just small a rule. I have tried the following:

   RewriteRule ^/blog/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/([^/]+)/?$ /blog/$1/

   I am not sure where this should go (before or after the WP rule), if it is 100% correct and if it can even work. it seems as if it should but I am just getting my feet wet in RegEx and mod_rewrite syntax. Please help. Please!

   I've spent a few hours experimenting with Regex and mod_rewrite, searching this forum and others... Still no look.

   I'd really like to shrink my permalinks from being date & name based to being simply date based, as smashingred mentioned above.

   From: /%year%/%month%/%date%/%postname%/
   To: /%postname%/

   Anyone have any ideas? (10 months and the above post hasn't even gotten a reply... :\ Perhaps I shouldn't hold my breath.)

   Found a solution and blogged it, if anyone's interested.
