   I just changed my WordPress permalink structure from the default to custom:

   /%postname%/

   This is what I have on most of my other blogs.

   In any case, what I want to know is if my blog posts are all set up automatically with 301 redirects to the new blog post URL? When I got to http://www.myblogurl.com/?p=123 it does automatically change over to http://www.myblogurl.com/my-blog-post-title/ but what I want to know is if a 301 redirect was automatically generated though.

   I did install the plugin Redirection before I made this change but the WordPress module was not active until I had permalinks enabled. I also had All In One Seo enabled which I heard changes links.

   Any ideas / ways to find out?

   I checked my raw access log and found WordPress replied my request of http://www.my-domain.com/?p=123 with a 301 redirect to http://www.my-domain.com/my-permalink/.

   Cool so it does add the 301 automatically when you change from default to permalinks custom /%postname%/ ? (just trying to confirm that's what you're saying)

   Yes, WP (rather than the Redirection plugin) does it for us.
