Can you help me with a redirect? If yes, please, send me e-mail.

How can I redirect with htacces a structure that were /index.php/%year%/%postname%-%post_id%.html to /%year%/%postname%-%post_id%.html (without index.php).
Is it possible?

It will only be a problem if you have too many pages. I have been using it on over 200 websites and most of my clients over the past 3 years and it has never been a problem. The advantages you have by using it so is much more than the minor performance issues

But the WordPress Codex says that

“Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.”

all my blogs use to be category/postname, but I was just reading WordPress’ own info about permalinks an they strongly suggest against it. They suggest using numbers (date) first then post, since adding a text slug confuses the blog and takes more time.. something like that.

Great article! I’ve been afraid to change my permalink structure after I messed it up last time. Your article helped me do it successfully. Thanks

Indeed. With a little tweak on the permalink, we could get many more traffics from search engine like Google. It leads to better SEO.

Recently I just update my links from “url+year+month+title” to a shorter one = “url+title”.
I write about personal growth and developments, which is timeless contents, so year and month is not really important here.

Anyway, I’m happy with the change.
