This plugin checks for such post links and redirects the visitor using permanent (301) redirect to the correct /Category/Permalink link IF the permalinks are setup. This plugin assumes that you have previously used /%postname%/ in your Settings > Permalinks. Demo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L124jV5joTk Bugs? Suggestions?

Slavi's plugin works just as expected and works out of the box. Definitely recommended. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2408d0d26cb9f3dcf0454f735f1dc47f43fa15ed009a7080d943926ec874a5d2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!

I changed permalink from /%postname%/ to/% category%/%postname%/ and afterwards, I had many 404's. So, I installed your plug- in and bam! It's all worked perfectly. No more 404's. Thank you!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a122b1797ba2d1a1834984556e16739b85134f47837ed187203c3d6264f62654? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[AWESOME PLUGIN](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-1693/)󠁿 [refrain](https://profiles.wordpress.org/refrain/) September 3, 2016 I just let you know I registered to thank you!
