   Hi..

   I want to change the URL(permalinks) format on my site. Its a 2 year old site and has a lot of content indexed.

   Is there a way to change the URL format of the articles that will be published in the future without making any changes to the existing URLs?

   I really hope this is doable.

   eagerly awaiting responses!

   Hi syedabbas-

   I'm assuming you're currently using the "ugly" format, and want to switch to the "pretty" format with URL rewriting via the .htaccess file?

   If you do this, your existing permalinks (in "/?p=1234" format) will still work; they'll just redirect to the new permalinks (in "/yyyy/mm/post-name" format). Some search engines may even pick up on this and update their indices.

   Best Regards,
   Dave
