How to change URL links that were made by WordPress?

I have a WordPress blog. All the post are currently in this convention:

http://www.myblog.com/blog/?p=1442

Now I'd like to change the URL of all posts like this one:

http://www.gomidjets.com/blog/this-is-my-post

While it's quite easy to apply it by changing the blog settings, the big problem is about the links I've placed in many external website. I can't change them, and I'd like to map the old links to the new links somehow. Do you know how to do it - if that's possible at all? Do you have a better solution?

Thank you very much

The URL's should resolve fine because the original URL you're using is the permalink one to my knowledge. If you're wanting end users to be redirected to this url, that's a bit harder.

That aside, I couldn't find any plugins that already did this. What you want to do is check the current URL against the wordpress function get_permalink() and if it doesn't match, redirect to the current permalink URL.

Wordpress will map all old URL to new one, in case if you provided all URL in their original shape, such as http://example.com/?page_id=80

The answer is: you don't need to do anything.

Login to the admin panel first,

go for the settings->Permalink Settings

Select the format you want.

If you want change the base url for only some posts then you can edit from database.

I believe what you're looking for can be found in the admin panel.

In the admin panel (http://www.your-wordpress-site.com/wp-admin), go to Settings > Permalinks
