Hello,
I am migrating a website that was created in 2008 using custom LAMP/PHP code base to WordPress. My understanding is that it is better for SEO purposes to use “[pretty permalinks]” with the “Post name” option. However, I have a few obstacles to doing that:
​
1. The posts on the old non-WordPress sites are essentially using the “ugly permalinks” format, but the new site is using the recommended pretty permalinks autogenerated from the post title
2. **We have a lot of posts:** This is not trivial. The first site like this that I’m migrating only has almost 1500 posts, but the one I will be doing after that has over 20K!
3. The first post ID for my **video** custom post type is 13852 … you would think it would be 1, or possibly zero, but not 13 thousand something
4. All video posts were imported with WP All Import plugin
The naive approach seems to be to manually map each individual URL.
What would be a more sophisticated / robust approach? Remember — 20K+ URLS
Thank you for any assistance
