Change Permalink Helper

This plugin does not work anymore (in my case, it may still work for other users) and the developer is not responding to support-requests …

I changed URL structure from “Day and name” to “Post name”. Plugin’s performance for Redirecting to new URL structure is brilliant. Many thanks for developer.

I updated to WooCommerce 3.0 and began to experience many problems which I had to tackle one by one – One of the problems was that the Product Permalinks was “Product Category, Product Name” before. It then automatically changed to “Product/ Product Category, Product Name” – Which completely messed up my website and search engines went to 404 links. I couldn’t change it back – so I finally found this plugin – didn’t have to do anything else apart from install it and it completely solved my problem! Thanks a bunch!. One question – Is this a permanant fix for all those links that are on search engines? Will they eventually change to the correct links and will I experience any problems moving on? Thanks!
