I have a WordPress site with a Permalink of /%category%/%postname% of over 350 blog posts and I want to change it to just postname /%postname%
I have a few questions.
Is there any quick way to do the redirects? So say I have a category of “fruits” could I put something in the htaccess that would redirect all posts that were originally site.com/fruits/postname to site.com/postname?
And, secondly, it is bad to have too many redirects in an htaccess file? Would 350 slow down the site?
If the postname is staying the same, you’d just need one rule per category to do the redirects - i.e. /category/postname -> /postname - the rule would jsut throw away the category.
