Change of Permalinks

  • Hey guys, i want to change my link structure from this

    https://lookinforjonny.com/?p=6538

    to the exact names of the articles. I have already 300 articles online and I′m afraid of loosing all my links at other pages. If someone linked to an article of my blog and i change the permalink will it be still linked or will the link go nowhere after the change?

  • I just tested it on my wordpress, https://exemple.com/?page_id=16 got automatically redirected to https://exemple.com/article-name.
    In any case it’s easy to go back to your previous settings.

    edit: You’re talking of posts not page, there is no redirection for me, but it still works.

    Your links will still work if you are moving from the default permalink structure to a custom one but not the other way around.

    thats weird, i changed back and if you click the link it shows the titel although i double checked in my post itself…the titelname isnt anymore in as permalink structure?!?!

    This is probably due to the way how does the WordPress handle friendly URL’s.

    So, I guess the number there is to avoid possible conflicts. But that’s just a wild guess ??

    EDIT: Sorry, this answer is supposed to be posted in the other thread, I just used the wrong browser tab. Sorry again!
