I read through the wp-testers discussion thread again and I’ve been doing my research before switching my permalink structure and frankly, I seem to find a lot of people using /%category%/%postname%/ as a custom option… this is not to say that it is wise, but it is fairly common.

In fact, several of the plugins I looked at that allow either multiple permalink structures (Advanced Permalinks, for one) or help you migrate links (Redirection, same author), even have features to use /%category%/ to start the link structure.

So this leads me to a few questions that I’m hoping someone can shed some light on:

If I change my entire structure to begin with the year or post ID, doesn’t WordPress handle this with the proper redirect already?

If I change my entire structure to begin with the year or post ID, does the single database field in the wp_options table that holds all the current information shrink back down to a more manageable (read: faster) size?

Will this “shortcoming” be changed in a future version of WordPress that make my concerns irrelevant for now?

And finally, does using a plugin like WP Super Cache help with this issue?

Thanks much,
Dave

Thanks, for this thought.

Is there any way to use a DIFFERENT image in that second instance? This way it’s an obvious (and neat) way to display what you’re going to get when you click on it.

For example, I created custom button images for the subscribe and save/share buttons on Brian’s Belly.
