Removing date from Wordpress permalink: .htaccess 301

18 March 2009

I just updated my permalinks structure on amdsoft.com to remove the dates from the URL. This is slightly better for SEO, and is nicer looking also.
So now we get URLs like
http://amdsoft.com/essential-software-for-new-macos-box/
instead of
http://amdsoft.com/2009/03/12/essential-software-for-new-macos-box/
In Wordpress, this is changed at www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/options-permalink.php, select Custom Structure and just use
/%postname%/
Here’s the 301 redirect (replace amdsoft with your domain):
RedirectMatch 301 /([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ http://amdsoft.com/$4
