    Hey guys,

    I have a slight problem... we made a change to our url structure the other day and have broken links all over.

    What I did was change links from:

    http://blog.mydomain.com/articles/123

    To:

    http://blog.mydomain.com/articles/this-is-a-smaple

    Is there anyway to direct any links linking to the pages ID number to the postname????

    Thanks and help would do

    Matt

    Are these links that are hardcoded into posts or pages? If so, have a look at the Search & Replace plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/

    esmi,

    no these are links that are within our RSS feed that our facebook RSS graffiti is using. Old post that are feeding through our feed burner and on to RSS graffiti still have the old structure to them.

    Is there anything that I can put into place that will check for the post ID number and then redirect it to it's postname url struture?

    Is this even something that can happen?

    There's a redirection plugin but I think that could be too much of a hassle for you to use. On the plus side, feedburner should update pretty quickly.
