[wp-hackers] WordPress Permalink Redirection

[Dan Smart]

Although WordPress will automatically change the permalinks of each post, I don't believe it will create an HTTP 301 Redirect for the changed posts, which means that anyone with links to your posts under the old permalink structure will get 404 errors, and you'll lose all that SEO goodness.
Therefore you'll need to use a plugin like the Redirection plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/) to manage such redirects.
