   Hi Neso, I think the Redirection plugin will help you to do so...
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/

   However, in terms of SEO I would recommend you to change your URL to a custom structure, such as /date/month/titel or just /category/title, and not just a number /12556.

   Don't use /category/title. See http://ottopress.com/2010/category-in-permalinks-considered-harmful/ for the reasons why.

   I have resolved problem, no need for Redirect plugin, just add this to htaccess file.

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.*)$
   RewriteRule ^like\.php$ http://mysite.com/like/%1? [R=301,L]

   I hope this will help sombody ... ;)
