If you have an existing website and you want to add category to your blog posts links (e.g. by using: /%category%/%postname%/ in Settings > Permalinks) then your visitors 
will most likely run into page not found errors. This plugin checks for such post links and redirects the visitor using permanent (301) redirect to the correct /Category/Permalink link IF the permalinks are setup.
This plugin assumes that you have previously used /%postname%/ in your Settings > Permalinks.

Permalinks to Category/Permalinks

While it may seem trivial, switching from permalinks to a prefix using a category is tough. Slavi's plugin works just as expected and works out of the box. Definitely recommended.

Works as expected, thanks!

The plugin automatically redirects users who have accessed a blog post link without the category to the one which has the category and therefore avoid …

Search & Replace Everything – Quick and Easy Way to Find and Replace Text, Links

We used to use the Velvet one but it seems to have been abandoned. Glad to see that they took over development.

We tried this one on a few websites and it has changed the URLs successfully. Saved us lots of time. Tested the websites after and they're fine.

Works well


I come from Velvet Blues plugin that used to do the same job, but abandoned with a serious security flaw (and ultimately banned from downloaded again from wp.org). I was looking for that plugin and found your fork. Thanks again for keeping it up-to-date.


Thanks for keeping it updated
