The problem about Permalinks Migration Plugin
Some people told me that they can’t redirect from default permalinks structure (/?p=#) to a new one via Permalinks Migration plugin.Revenuenets sent me a message a few days ago:
hi Dean,i think the problem that i’ve asked you previously is a wordpress 2.5 limitation,without using any plugins, wordpress itself can’t even redirect /%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/ .
any comments on that?
I’m woking on new version of Permalinks Migration plugin,trying to find a way to overcome that limitation and fix this issue.but i’m sorry to say,that due to another project, my free time is very limited so progress may be slow.thanks for your understand and help.

Hi Dean! Thanks for this! I have a question about my subdomain, it used to be in a subfolder and I transferred everything to a subdomain, the change affected the permalinks of course but I wonder it the plugin would help…I had it activated. Thanks!
Useful plugin, I use it on many sites that I set up permalinks "wrong". The only flaw, like you mentioned is changing from /%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/
But that is very minor and I can live with that
thank you, plugin running well on my website. Initially there is an error, many dead links. In fact I already activate and deactivate some plugins, including the wp-super-cache and xml google sitemap …
turns out if you first activate this plugin, try a few steps I had done.
- turn off wp-super-cache, delete cache there and switch back
- Generate reset google sitemap xml (if using this plugin) manually
wait a few minutes and then try to re-examine the links to your website.
When I think of this plugin does not work perfectly, I use the broken link checker, and no reported errors. So I conclude this problem with the cache systemnya..
thanks, i hope this is will help anybody had a same problems
Good day,
First of all, I'd like to say thanks to Dean for the plug-in, it was working flawlessly until my recent upgrade to 3.1. Ever since the WP upgrade, my permalinks don't work anymore. Can anyone help? Thanks

I have a simple suggestion for a workaround to the /?p=# problem. After the if clause that starts on line 51 of "deans_permalinks_migration.php" add the following else:
else {
if(isset($_GET["p"]) && is_numeric($_GET["p"])) {
$permalink = get_permalink($_GET["p"]);
if(!empty($permalink)) {
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently", TRUE, 301);
header('Status: 301 Moved Permanently');
header("Location: ". $permalink);
exit();
}
}
}
Is there still a bug with this plugin. I would like for my permalinks to have some words in them instead of just p=#. I don't know if it is better for SEO but it seems like it would be. I am just afraid of messing something up or makng my site/articles load any slower than they already do. I have lots of links from bit.ly, twitter and my facebook fan page that I don't want to get messed up.
Thank you so much for this plugin! :) It works great for all my posts that were in my blog folder. How do I set up more than one 301 redirects, I have some posts that were in different folders.
All the comments on the blog which have old permalinks structure and being indexed show crawl error ..
