Plugin handles the permalink changed due to changes in the post date when post date is used in the permalink structure.\nTries to correct any malformed permalinks by trying to find the post in case of 404(File not found) header.\nIt is just plug and play, activate it and it starts working, no configuration required.<\/p>\n\n\n
