 * I would like to change one of my old permalinks, do I need to add a 301 redirect
   plugin or does wordpress do it automatically now?
 * Thanks!

 * WordPress will not do 301 redirection for old URLs. You will need to do it either
   from .htaccess or via plugin (if there is any such plugin available).

 * Here is a simple example of how to manually use a 301 redirect:
 * `redirect 301 /old/old http://domain.com/new/new`
 * And let’s say you want to change the name of a category:
 * `redirect 301 /old/ http://domain.com/new/`
