Does an easy method exist to change my WordPress permalinks from site.com/yyyy/mm/post-title to site.com/post-title?
I’m imagining a regular expression to drop the /yyyy/mm from the URL, but am not clear how to write that in Nginx. I’d love to make a change on my WordPress config, but don’t want to wreck already-published URLs.
I could also cheat, by using a redirect on the 404 page…but that feels silly.

Accepted Answer
You can redirect /yyyy/mm/post-title
to /post-title
by adding the following line to your nginx server block:
rewrite ^/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/(.*?)/?$ /$1 permanent;
