   Hello

   I need to create an htaccess rule to redirect my old posts to the new structure to avoid broken links

   currently its

   /post_id/postname

   want to change to

   /catname/postname

   Normally a regex would work for a this to that, but as its a dynamic number, I cant figure out how to do it. Any advice?

   Try Advanced Permalinks plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/

   It's features list has,

   301 redirect old permalink structures (many structures are allowed)

   thanks all.

   i saw yoast wrote a plugin for it, but that is for

   X+Y to go to /posttitle/

   Was hoping someone was good with regex, so I could do an HTACCESS mod.

   Why not give it a shot yourself Norbert and see if it works? If you're unable to find a solution, you could post in a dedicated htaccess forum?

   Hey Andrew.

   The code yoast provides is good, however, I just cant grasp how to redirect to categories

   I didnt even know about the Htaccess cat. Man this place is huge ;)
