Had I known years ago, I would have chosen meaningful permalinks for my blog. There is an option in Wordpress to change them all but I would like to keep the old links as they are since they are referenced in thousands of pages.

How can I change the WordPress permalink structure only for future posts only?

Oh yeah been there done that.

1)make a list of the old urls

2)update the page URLS

3)download "simple 301 redirects plugin" wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-301-redirects/
4)insert old to new links

wolla finished! This is by far the most simple way

There's a couple of possible solutions in this blog post, though see my comment above.

I haven't used the Migration plugin myself, and it's pretty old, but I'd have to assume it functions if someone's still recommending it.

The Redirection plugin I have used, and it's pretty convenient as it lets you set up redirect patterns(obviously), but also logs failures so that you can make adjustments, set up special one-off cases and so on.
