I am creating new posts, but I want to edit post URL
so for a post wordpress is giving me domain.com/?p=10
i want to make it domain.com/?p=1132
Its because I have an old website that i need to recover, google have all these pages indexed with these urls, but I dont have it's files, so I want to be able to edit ?p=number
Is that possible?

it is impossible
because WP set p="Number" number is your post number. so if you post number is 10 you cant set it to 1132.
you can change you post link or set it when write post, only if you change your WP permalinks settings from default to any other
Its because I have an old website that i need to recover, google have all these pages indexed with these urls, but I dont have it's files, so I want to be able to edit ?p=number
if dont want to lose google old indexed page trust you can set in .htacces file on you old website 301 redirect to you new website with new pages
hope I help you

thank you themes,
i just re-created the post, it's url was originally domain/?p=1343
new post's url is domain/?p=10
so what I did is redirect original url to the new one using a wordpress plugin, will that be search engine friendly?

If you want to redirect one page to another page, add the following code to the .htaccess file in your old site root folder, on a single line.
redirect 301 /old-file-name.htm http://www.yournewdomain.com/new-file-name.htm-----------------------------------------
If you want to redirect all pages of an entire site to the main page of another domain
RedirectMatch 301 (.*) http://www.yournewdomain.com/yes it will be SE frendly. when a SE bot come to your old page address it will be redirected to new. and 301 redirect tell them that page moved to new adress
if you wont to know more search in google "redirect 301"

Themes, it's only one website and only one domain name, i just lost my files but I have the content.
I am redirecting page by page
so:
domain/?p=1032 < old url of a post called try this
redirects to: domain/try-this
domain/try-this < this is where the same post, new url is on now

if you have content, do you have your old site mysql base backup? if so just restore backup to new base, this will resolve all you problem.

Dear except .htaccess redirection. no ways to solve your problems.
Posted 1 year ago #
ok, it should work
example-
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=1032
RewriteRule ^ /try-this/? [R=301,L]this will redirect your page youdomain.com/?p=1032
to new URL youdomain.com/try-this/
so if you want to redirect another page youdomain.com/?p=26 to a new page on you site just add to .htaccess else 2 lines
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=1032
RewriteRule ^ /try-first/? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=26
RewriteRule ^ /try-second/? [R=301,L]i try it right now on my server with wp engine.
I hope I helped you

u can use this code in post 10
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=domain.com/?p=1132">
but your editor must be html mode;
if user see domain.com/?p=10 redirected to domain.com/?p=1132 .

meta refresh is not SE friendly
Google will show the URL of the original page in the search results if it has a higher PageRank than the location of the destination page.
and you can get penalty from google if you use meta refresh , because it old spam technique used for redirect to an other page on other domain.
meta refresh must be used only to refresh content

So I should solve it using .htaccess redirection?
There are many many pages, will that be ok with .htaccess to have so many lines?

Yes.

it will be ok.
but there is a possibility to add in htaccess only few code lines and any old page will be redirected to a new page.
But to make this happen, all your new page links should have a template based on old page url.
in your case if old page was like youdomain.com/?p=1032 but new youdomain.com/new-file/ we cant make any relation between old and new, so you need to write in .htaccess line by line rule for any post you want to be redirected and redirect SE trust from old url to new. redirect 301 tell SE that page moved to new address permanently.
