    Hi,

    I currently have my permalinks as

    blogname.com/year/month/date/post-name

    and I wanted to change it to

    blogname.com/postnumber

    Yet if I do that, people who go to my blog via search engines will not see the post as the old link will not work. this is same for people who have linked to a certain post or bookmarked a certain post. is there a plugin or workaround for my situation?

    Thanks

    You don’t want to do that. The permalinks you are already using are much better for getting ranked higher in a search engine. Search engines use the titles of pages and the urls partially to determine rankings using keywords, so havinga long, descriptive url is actually superior to a short, more easily managed and typed url.
