 * Question,
 * I just came from a Joomla! driven site and imported all my posts into WordPress.
   So far so good.
 * Now I have the following problem.
 * When people search the internet for my articles (posts) they will find…
 * [http://www.iamboredsoiblog.eu/Adobe-Flex/flex-datagrid-advanced-paging-and-filtering.html](http://www.iamboredsoiblog.eu/Adobe-Flex/flex-datagrid-advanced-paging-and-filtering.html)
 * But I want them to go to:
 * [http://www.iamboredsoiblog.eu/2009/01/10/advanced-paging-and-filtering-in-flex-datagrid/](http://www.iamboredsoiblog.eu/2009/01/10/advanced-paging-and-filtering-in-flex-datagrid/)
 * Is there a way to add permalink rules so this old link will automaticly go to
   the new link ?
 * Thanxs !

 * You may want to look at the Redirection plugin ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/))
   if you want to redirect. Otherwise, you may want to make it so that your new 
   URLs are the same as your old ones. In the first example, is “Adobe-Flex” the
   category the post is in? If so, you can change your permalink structure to /%
   category%/%postname%/ although [as the codex page says, it’s not recommended for performance reasons](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks).
