FAQ
Why is my old post URL not redirecting to the new URL?
This is currently not supported, the post will be accessible at both URLs. I agree that this isn’t the ideal behaviour but it was too tricky to support redirects while also ensuring query parameters and “/page/xx” and “/comment-page-xx” modifiers were respected during the redirect. The good news is that the canonical tag will always point to the new URL so there shouldn’t be any SEO ramifications.
Does this plugin provide access to any actions/filters?
A single filter is available. You may use the aprea_back_compat_permalink_structure
filter to provide a backwards compatible permalink structure, e.g. /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
.
This is helpful if you updated the permalink structure prior to installing this plugin.
The plugin is not working for me!
I’m terribly sorry! You may want to check the caveats section to see if any apply to your situation. Otherwise feel free to post in the support forums.
