Permalinks change

I would like to change my permalinks from:
blog.domain.tld/2009/12/31/postname/
to only:
blog.domain.tld/postname/

It is easy to do in WP's permalink settings,
but the links will become dead all over the net.

I need a .htaccess rewrite to lead people to the right blog entry
and I hoped someone already had a solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

    Take a look at this one and see if it's what you need

    or maybe even a plugin

    Hi HomeBizNizz

    I believe the code for .htaccess is as follows:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    if your wordpress install is in a sub-directory then you need to use this one

    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /sub-directory/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /sub-directory/index.php [L]
    change sub-directory to whichever one you have it in

    I hope this helps ... I'm not the best when it comes to .htaccess

    Download "Deans Permalink Redirection". Solves these sorts of problems. Pretty sure you can get it through the wordpress backend aswell (Isnt some rogue plugin).

      Just out of curiosity - how did you fix it?

      Cheers.

        Install the plugin and activate it.
        Go to permalinks settings.
        Above at the top you'll see some new links.
        Go to Migration

        Old: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
        New: /%postname%/

        Remember to change it to: /%postname%/ in ordinary settings too.
