Description

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.

Works as expected, thanks!

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.
