# Reset all Post Permalinks

 * Hello,
 * due to my lack of attention when creating posts I now have a bad mix of different
   permalinks.
 * I think the best permalink structure for my posts would be /%category%/%postname%/
   is there a way to apply this to all my posts? I got over 1000 posts which do 
   have a bad permalink so it should be some automatic way to do it.
 * Can this be done with WordPress itself or do I need a plugin? Or isn´t it even
   possible?
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Regards,
    Marek

 * Today I found that it seems the permalinks do change when i reset the permalinks,
   however it does not use the correct %postname% for it, jut the first number which
   i got in front of all my post names, but not the text behind it.
 * So how can i force WordPress to take the right title, not only the number?

 * Just to make clear what i mean, an example:
 * The post title is:
    #100 The world is a nice place to be
 * In the browser tab it shows the correct title:
    #100 The world is a nice place
   to be
 * However the permalink looks like this:
    [http://www.domain.com/category/](http://www.domain.com/category/)**
   764/**
 * Instead of (roughly without slugs):
    [http://www.domain.com/category/](http://www.domain.com/category/)**
   world-nice-place/**
 * Strangely for the first posts i made it was all fine, about 2k without problems,
   but the last 1k i did do have this problem, some few do have the right permalink,
   but 99% don´t.
 * I use the Parabola theme, could it be that they changed something for permalinks
   when they did update the theme?
 * Please Help, i would really like to find out whats wrong!
 * Also i checked module_rewrite , as far as i can see as a WP beginner this seems
   to be enabled and working,
 * Thanks
