    Hi. Any ideas for an easy solution (that hopefully won’t break with updates) for preserving the query string parameters when the Redirect Old Url option is enabled?

    Example
    With the Redirect Old Url option enabled, the following is happening:

    https://www.example.com/post-name-1/?v=1&c=2
=>https://category1.example.com/post-name-1/

    I would like to see this happen:

    https://www.example.com/post-name-1/?v=1&c=2
=>https://category1.example.com/post-name-1/?v=1&c=2

    (The site I’m working on is not-publicly accessible right now, hence the absence of a link.)

    you just need to filter the post link with that parameters

    add_filter( 'post_link', 'to_post_link' , 10, 2 );

function to_post_link( $post_link , $post ) {
      return $post_link . '?v=1&c=2';
}

    Excellent. Thanks for your help.

    I needed it to be a little more dynamic, to capture the various Google Analytics tracking params, but what you provided was perfect.

    I’m pasting my completed code here, in case it can help anyone else out.

    Thanks again! 

    // Preserve query string params in redirect (for use with subdomains plugin)
add_filter( 'post_link', 'to_post_link' , 10, 2 );

function to_post_link( $post_link , $post ) {

	$qsSeperator = '?';
	$qsAppend = '';

	// Preserve utm_source variable in querystring on redirect
	if ($_GET['utm_source'] <> '') {
		$qsAppend .= $qsSeperator.'utm_source='.$_GET['utm_source'];
		$qsSeperator = '&';
	}

	// Preserve utm_medium variable in querystring on redirect
	if ($_GET['utm_medium'] <> '') {
		$qsAppend .= $qsSeperator.'utm_medium='.$_GET['utm_medium'];
		$qsSeperator = '&';
	}

	// Preserve utm_campaign variable in querystring on redirect
	if ($_GET['utm_campaign'] <> '') {
		$qsAppend .= $qsSeperator.'utm_campaign='.$_GET['utm_campaign'];
		$qsSeperator = '&';
	}

	// Preserve utm_term variable in querystring on redirect
	if ($_GET['utm_term'] <> '') {
		$qsAppend .= $qsSeperator.'utm_term='.$_GET['utm_term'];
		$qsSeperator = '&';
	}

	// Preserve utm_content variable in querystring on redirect
	if ($_GET['utm_content'] <> '') {
		$qsAppend .= $qsSeperator.'utm_content='.$_GET['utm_content'];
		$qsSeperator = '&';
	}

    // Return URL with complete query string
    return $post_link . $qsAppend;
}
