Permalinks Migration Plugin for wordpress
With this plugin, you can safely change your permalink structure without breaking the old links to your website,and even doesn’t affect your search engine rankings.
introduction
Many people want to change their permalink structure,for example, from /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/
But doing so will make all pages indexed by search engines become invalid,moreover, losing visitors from other sites or bookmarks that links to you.
There is a way to tell the search engines (and browsers) that the page has permenantly moved, and that the old address should be replaced by the new one . It’s called a “301 Redirect”, also known as a Permanent Redirect.When you do this, Search engines will update their indexes quickly and you won’t lose your pagerank.you will continue to receive traffic as though nothing had changed. This works for search engines, bookmarks, and links from other sites.
By now, you know how can you change your permalinks without losing the traffic you’re already getting. You can download this Permalink Migration Plugin to achieve this for you.
This plugin will generates a “301 Redirect” when user or spider visit your site through old permalinks,and redirect them to the new permalinks of the same post.
Do not fear to change your permalink structure now, you would never lose any visitors due to changed addresses.

[...] Ad ora quello che sono riuscito a fare è stato solo traguardare il primo obiettivo: se notate la struttura dei link ai post e’ cambiata e sono riuscito a mantenere il pagerank della vecchia URL grazie al plugin “Dean’s Permalink Migration” che si è dimostrato proprio adatto allo scopo. Per quanto riguarda invece il secondo punto la cosa si è rivelata un tantino più ostica tanto che ho deciso di sospendere le sperimentazioni, dato che effettuavo a caldo direttamente sul blog. In ogni caso ritengo che l’unica strada percorribile sia quella dell’implementazione di un plugin ad hoc che filtri sull’ API “generate_rewrite_rules” di WordPress . google_ad_client = “pub-1585273873606952″; google_alternate_color = “FFFFFF”; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_ad_format = “336x280_as”; google_ad_type = “text_image”; google_ad_channel =”"; google_color_border = “FFFFFF”; google_color_bg = “FFFFFF”; google_color_link = “000000″; google_color_url = “000000″; google_color_text = “000000″; WordPress Global Translator Plugin 0.4Upgrade a WP 2.1.1WordPress Global Translator Plugin 0.2WordPress Global Translator Plugin 0.4.1WordPress Global Translator PluginWordPress Global Translator Plugin 0.5 [...]

Is it also possible for migrating links from Blogspot to wordpress?
Number#1:
In order for the permalinks plugin to work, both the wordpress address and the blog address HAVE TO BE THE SAME.
I notice this mistake for my settings hence the problem arose.
You guys can find this setting under Options->General.
Number#2:
Before the plugin is activated, make sure you have set the customised permalink in the permalinks option.
IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, IT WILL NOT WORK.
Number#3:
Default permalink set by WordPress is /%post_id%
This should be your setting in the permalink migration option
