[wp-hackers] On slug change, do something

[Nicholas Ciske]

permalink_structure_changed fires when the permalink structure is changed on the Settings page -- not when a slug is updated.

You're probably looking for the edit_terms action which fires just before the term slug is updated (keep in mind that one term can be in multiple taxonomies). This gets run in wp_update_term() in wp-includes/taxonomy.php.

This triggers every time a term is updated, you'll need to write some code to determine if the slug has actually changed or not.
