How can I keep the original Joomla URLs?
Last Updated 8 years ago
Normally, the URLs are not kept. They are redirected using 301 redirects, that means it won't impact the site SEO.
However, if you really want to keep the original Joomla URLs, just select "Keep the Joomla articles IDs". And in the WordPress permalink settings, you must put: /%category%/%post_id%-%postname%.html
But it is better to not keep the original Joomla URLs, because the WordPress URLs are better for the SEO than the Joomla ones. So it is better to redirect the URLs.
