# Permalink Redirection?

 * I have a self-hosted WordPress site. It’s been running for 5 years, has accumulated
   thousands of pages, etc.
 * It has always been under the default permalink setting ([http://obscuresound.com/?p=123](http://obscuresound.com/?p=123)),
   but I want to change it to category/title-of-post. My question is, how can I 
   make this change without breaking all of my interweaving links? I have internal
   pages linking to various other internal pages, embedded into the post.
 * Is there automatic redirection for a case like this? Any app I can use that will
   do this? I would appreciate any discretion before making this move.
 * Thanks.
    Mike

 * I’m not 100%, but I believe the links will still work
 * the ‘pretty’ permalink just redirects to the post….
 * For instance, I’ve had pretty permalinks forever, but if I type in rvoodoo.com/?
   p=1390 it redirects to rvoodoo.com/2010/10/mix-of-the-moment-the-glitch-mob/ 
   automatically, which is theproper post for that ID
 * You can always change the permalinks, and try it out. If it breaks anything, 
   switch back
