Changing Wordpress Permalinks?

    I am thinking of changing my Wordpress permalink structure from the day into categories. For example instead of

    mysite.com/05/14/post-name-here/
    Code (markup):
    it would be

    mysite.com/category/post-name-here/
    Code (markup):
    Anybody know how to redirect the first URL to the second one, without the visitor getting a 404?

    I believe SEO Platinum has 301 redirects built in. There are a couple of others. Check the WordPress Plugin Directory.

    There is a great plugin called "Redirection" that will do this for you automatically, well the 301s anyway.

    you can change the structure from permalinks in writing menu in your blog
    the way you describe should get in as following :
    mysite.com/category/post-name-here/
    to ur requested mode by the following code:
    
/index.php/%category%/%postname%/
    Code (markup):
    but I am not sure how to do with out redirect though,

    I was going to say the same thing - definitely try this plugin. It will do this automatically.

    Yes, try Redirection or Advanced permalink. SEO platinum have an issue with that function (read here :http://www.pramudita.com/platinum-seo-pack-vs-all-in-one-seo-plugin.html), but you can try that

    Finally, you can take permalink migration plugins here:

    From advanced permalink page (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-permalinks/)
