    I have a client who wanted a site to be arranged a particular way at launch, but now, two years later, wants the menu to be arranged differently. The simple solution is to change the parent-child relationship of resources, but this of course will change all of the friendly URLs on the site, breaking search engines and other external references to pages on the site.

    One idea is to create a new tree of weblink resources that Wayfinder uses, with each weblink resource pointing to the real document resource. But this will make breadcrumbs look wrong, and is more tedium in the future to maintain. Symlink resources would create what appears externally as duplicated content. Lastly, editing .htaccess to redirect old to new URLs is also possible but tedious.

    Is there some cleaner and simpler approach I've overlooked? Many thanks for all suggestions!

      There's an extension available called SEO Tab which will automatically create 301 redirects for you when URLs are changed. This could potentially help?

        Thanks! I'll give it a try after a backup. Much appreciated.
