When Permalink Redirect plugin is installed, and when you added the old permalink structure, it will add extra rewrite rules to WordPress knows how to handle the URL when a request with the old URL comes in. Deactivating the plugin actually does not remove those rules -- they will only be removed when you do a "Save" in the Options - Permalink page. Therefore the old permalinks will still be handled, but will not be redirected. The current 0.8.1 should work with WordPress 2.3+. WordPress 2.3 has some of Permalink Redirect's functionality but not all so feel free to keep it around if you need those extra functionalities. @Ben,

I changed permalink structure in the summer from the simple /%post_id%/ to the fancy /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ I installed your plugin to take care of the redirects and it worked great. Now I have upgraded to 2.31 and discover that your plugin still does the same old > new permalink job perfectly. But, if I turn it off, the old and the new structures now both work fine. E.g. http://www.notesfromspain.com/821/ goes to the right post without redirecting to the new permalink structure, and without throwing up an error as it would have done before without your plugin. It seems to me that I should still use your plugin to keep all the permalinks looking consistent though, does that make sense? Hi Scott, a quick question.

I use it along with the "Redirection" plugin which I use for 404 monitoring and single redirects. Unfortunately I don't have a head for coding especially any regex stuff (.htaccess file) to setup any sort of permanent permalink redirects nor do I know if that would be a wise thing to do. Either way, I'm glad your plugin is still around.

Is anonymous Subversion access for the permalink-redirect plugin available anywhere? The URL I was using previously to track development now requires a password.

It was on default which of course was the '?p=(number)'. How should I input that default expression, or will leaving it blank take care of everything since Wordpress leaves it blank on the Permalinks options page. Thanks.
