How to Change or Redirect Wordpress Permalinks Safely
There are times when you decide to change your link structure for the sake of SEO optimization or you simply need a change. For example:
Old permalinks:
http://www.yourdomain.com/2009/01/10/your-post-title/ (too long, irrelevant)
New permalinks:
http://www.yourdomain.com/category/your-post-title/ (short, highly relevant)
However, changing your link structure is going to affect your site traffic as the old links are already indexed by search engines and bookmarked or linked by your readers. You can’t afford to bear the loss as the links were built up over times. The only solution to the problem is redirect them permanently to new links, which is known as 301 Redirect or Permanent Redirect. There are many ways to perform the redirection, however, Deanlee creates a wordpress plugin that makes permalinks redirection a breeze.
FIX: Can’t Login To Wordpress After Upgrade?
I recently upgraded one of my new blogs to Wordpress version 2.6.3. As usual, I used the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin to do the upgrading work as it’s the easiest and time-saving way to perform a Wordpress upgrade in just few clicks. Now, one problem occured. I couldn’t login to the blog after the upgrade. It kept saying my user/password was incorrect. I reset the password and tried logging in using the new password, this time it just redirected me to the same login screen without flashing any error message. Nothing seemed to work after few attempts. I thought it was due to some confusion between the new and old cookie, so I cleared the cookie, and tried logging in again, but still it didn’t work. It kept redirecting me to the same login page although I knew the user credentials were correct.
I thought everything was screwed up and I might need to install the whole thing all over again. Installation is easy, but uploading files is going to eat up a hell lot of time. I googled and I tried all suggestions to no avail. It wasn’t a pleasant moment googling for the fixes and trying them all like a chump, until I came across bookchiq’s fix. This is the only fix that seems to work, so those of you who are facing the same login issue, look nowhere, use the fix below:
How to Create a Self-Hosted Blog
In my previous post “5 things to consider before starting your blogâ€, I suggested you to start off a free blog with Blogger, learn how blogging works, then only switch to a paid-posting blog running Wordpress. Therefore, I’m assuming you to have already created a free blog with Blogger and had some experience on blogging.
