 * I have built a site – it’s pretty huge [see it here](http://www.hosmark.com).
 * I built it using ugly permalinks and now need to migrate it to pretty ones (%
   post-name%), the problem is that the site is full of readmore buttons etc all
   linked to the relevant sub pages and pretty permalinks seems to break these button
   links.
 * I have tried a number of plugins (yoast SEO & Custom Permalinks) to no avail.
   I sam “Search and Replace” being suggested, but don’t understand how I could 
   use it to acheive what I want.
 * Is there a solution to this, there are literally hundreds of internal links so
   changing them one by one would be a nightmare.
