Default Wordpress Question

I have just changed a couple of wordpress catagorys and the permalink structure and was wondering does wordpress automatically create a redirect when you change these?

Yes, it makes changes on your .htaccess file.

Check the previous address and see if it redirects.

No, there is NO automatic redirect. All it does it change the internal link structure of your site but the old urls (if indexed or spidered) will show as 404.

You need to create the redirect yourself and resubmit any sitemaps.

Others are right. There is no automatic redirection. I learned this the hard way myself.

I found this plugin that makes it a little easier to manage.

Hope it helps!

when in doubt do a server header check to make sure it is giving a 301 after you change the url. Like mikebrad said resubmit the sitemap.
