Automatically Replace Old Permalinks With Postname
-
I’m looking for a plug-in or bit of php that will go through about 300 posts that use hyperlinks in the format:v
<a href="http://mysite.com/?p=3592">
and automatically replace them with their %postname% pretty permalink. Eg:
<a href="http://mysite.com/my-post-about-whatever">
For whatever reason, these posts don’t auto-magically do this when we changed Permalink structure so we’re currently going through one by one. Thousands.
I’m wondering is this is because we’re using a Custom Post Type?
OR, is there a problem with the way we set up the taxonomy that prevents the automatic rewrite? If so, can someone provide some suggestions. Here’s our taxonomy for this Custom Post Type (docs)
//helpdocs taxonomy add_action( 'init', 'create_docs_post_type' ); function create_docs_post_type() { $labels = array( 'name' => __( 'Documentation' ), 'singular_name' => __( 'Documentation' ) ); $args = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'public' => true, 'publicly_queryable' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => true, 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true, 'capability_type' => 'page', 'has_archive' => true, 'hierarchical' => true, 'menu_position' => 50, 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'custom-fields', 'revisions','page-attributes','post-formats' ) ); register_post_type( 'docs', $args); } function docs_init() { // create a new taxonomy register_taxonomy( 'docs_tax', 'docs', array( 'label' => __( 'Documentation_Tax' ), 'sort' => true, 'args' => array( 'orderby' => 'term_order' ), 'hierarchical' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'docs' ) ) ); } add_action( 'init', 'docs_init' );
TIA,
