   My blog has been around since 2005, and at this point I'm having an issue with permalinks. At some point, I changed them - probably a few years ago, and now I'm noticing a ton of 404 errors.

   I'm currently using %postname%, but there are lots of links out there that, for an unknown reason, didn't have the %monthnum% from the old /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ stripped off when the permalinks were changed.

   Now I've either got to do hundreds of redirects, or come up with a way to strip those old month digits off with .htaccess if they are present. If anyone could tell me how to do this, I would be very appreciative.

   I think you could probably achieve a fix using mod rewrite and htaccess but I'm not sure exactly how to do it, sorry.

   That might put you on the right track though...

   That's what I'm thinking. Unfortunately my knowledge of mod rewrite is nill.
   Thanks for responding. Anyone else?
