<p>Redirect Old Slugs allows you to change your post slugs without breaking your permalinks.  People requesting the old link will be redirected to the new link.  This all happens automatically.</p>
<p>Note that this functionality was brought into WordPress core for version 2.1, so this plugin is not needed.  When you upgrade to WordPress version 2.1 or higher, your old slugs will be kept and will keep on being redirected without the need for this plugin.</p>

<p>This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates.<br />
There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin.<br />
Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates.<br />
This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.</p>
