I don&#8217;t want that to happen. I could in no way manually single out all of those instances, so it would have to redirect automatically &#8211; both new and old urls would have to work, or it&#8217;s a no-go for this change.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4473258","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-permalinks","topic-tag-url-structure"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/4473258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/4473258\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4473258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
