Question about WordPress xml importer with internal links
-
Hello, I have a question about mass importing some posts that contains some internal links with the importer.
Let’s get the scenario: I’m trying to import 50 posts (each contains 3 internal links to existing pages A,B and C) plus one page that contains all links to the permalinks of that 50 posts (kind of a “sitemap”).
These posts have been generated with an external tool (so not a previous wp installation), and the links are written with the classic tag with a full URL to the page.
Everything works fine, I can import the posts, links are working both in the posts and the sitemap.
Now the question. Let’s suppose I change the permalinks of pages A B and C : the links in the 50 posts are not updating, still pointing at the old URLs.
Same thing happens if I change permalink of one of the 50 posts, the URL into the “sitemap” is not updating.I suppose that this happens because WP importer loads the pages but does not store any new record in the links DB table.
Is there any way to achieve this result and let that links update automatically like any other link written with the wp editor?
Thank you very much,
Best regards
