 * Hi John,
 * I’m very interested in the permalink migration feature you added but I’m not 
   sure how to get it working for me.
 * I updated my permalinks from /archives/%post_id% to /%post_name%
 * Under the site settings of the Redirection plugin it says: “Enter old permalinks
   structures to automatically migrate them to your current one.”
    So I entered 
   my previous permalink: /archives/%post_id% and saved it. But it didn’t work and
   I get 404 errors. How does it work?

 * Can you create a new issue with full details? This thread is not a place for 
   support
