Permalink Plain change to Date & name. Will Plain still work?
-
I am using Permalink “Plain“, and wish to improve my SEO rating. I want to change to “Date and name“.
But I have hundreds or thousands of “Plain” permalinks embedded in posts from the last 10 years.
So lets say I change to this permalink format:
https://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/2017/05/01/sample-post/
and that works fine.
But then I have an embedded post in my blog (or somebody else has out on the net, where I probably have tens of thousands of links to my blog referenced) and somebody clicks on this one:
https://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=5Will it still work? In other words are these two links the same?:
https://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/?p=5
https://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/2010/01/01/my_fifth_post/
(these aren’t actual posts, just hypothetical)
And can I just change the Permalink Settings, see what happens,, and if it doesn’t work like I want, then change back?
