use " Permalinks Moved Permanently " WP plugin.

basically what it does , whenever a link is not found , its searches DB for the slug title of your post, should work for you well.

Its not working at all

anyother suggestion ? the title is same as old ones but of course date is changed and its not redirecting to new ones

[BeitarJerusalem]

the thing about the plugin, is it uppose to work cuz it searches for the post name slug.

besides that,
have you thought using
%postname%
as your permalink?

will do you much better in terms of your problem and seo.

But all i want is my old indexed links on search engines to redirect to my newly created ones which i dont is happening even after getting that plugin

try Smart 404 plugin
it will find matching content, and redirect to it automatically.

Have you edited the .htaccess file?

Why don't you manually assign dates to your posts ?
