The regenerate option did save the original permalinks, and I made the rest of the changes as shown. However, when I update the post date on an old post to today, it breaks again by putting the new date in the permalink. Then I have to manually put the old permalink back into the redirect table. But at least that part works.

I still wonder what will happen if, now that I have the redirect table populated, I set wordpress to default to postname.

I guess I forgot to explain one little issue – when you keep Settings->Permalinks set as “Month and Name”, and you update the posted date on a post, the permalink changes.

So if we have foo.com/2019/12/mypost, then I update it today, I end up with foo.com/2020/03/mypost

I don’t want the permalink to change when I updated the post date, which is why I wanted to change the setting in WordPress. The desired behavior is that any link that ever existed for this post still continues to work. Does the plugin function in this fashion?
