    John. Thanks for the idea. I did what you suggested, but it didn’t work. But your comments did remind me that I am using a Genesis child-theme. Genesis framework requires both the Genesis main theme plus the child theme. I had deleted the genesis theme. I re-installed that and the child-them and it came back.

    Thanks for your insights.

    It is in frontend-jobs.php, line 151.

    I use a text editor called Ultra-Edit. I love it. I can search all the files at once and it will find it for me.

    I downloaded the plugin to my desktop, unzipped the files and then did a search.

    Hope that get’s you going.

    Be careful to backup your php files.

    The search engines will begin to index the new site and the new SEO. Using the .htaccess 301 redirects will tell the search engines to redirect and look at the new location for the page.

    Since the search engines have previously indexed the old urls, if you do not do the 301 redirects, you will take a big hit with broken links (404 errors) the 301 redirects will keep that from happening. Then the new pages will be re-indexed by the search engines.

    Yes. a 301 redirect for each individual page.

    I am not a redirect expert. I do know that with using regular expressions, assuming that the name is the same for the individual posts, you could do a single statement that would redirect to the new canonical path. But if there is no consistent patterns (one old sub-directory or category now included in a new category) then doing it individually is probably the best.

    If you have hundreds of articles, then you might want to think about the programmed re-direct. If you have less than a hundred, you can probably copy-paste the old/new paths per line.

    One other thing. Remember, it is the old path that is the problem. So, make sure that ALL old paths are included, even if many of them go to a default page. In other words, if you have left out some of your old articles, redirect them to a default page, like the front page, so that the indexes to not hit a 404.

    Bob,

    I don’t use that plugin, but I’m betting this will be hard-coded into the php file in the plugin. Are you familiar with using a text editor to make changes to one of the php files?

    Be sure to make a copy of the original and keep it safe, of course.
