  1. If I change permalinks AFTER I have already made posts and comments, it will cause swa and recent post links to not to work (they will still point to old links).
    I found how to correct it manualy for one of the plugins, by going to the database and editing the tables: Wp_site_posts and Wp_site_comments...
    but my 'Recent Site Wide Posts' still points to the wrong url.

    does anyone know what other table woudl have a blog post link in it? I went through the entire database 4 times looking for any link, and I only foudn those two table that I mentioned. But there must be another place where the links are stored because on my home poge, it is still directing to the wrong link.

    example.. Originally i used the permalink like so: http://mysite.com/shane/07/15/topic
    but then today i changed it and now links look like so: http://mysite.com/shane/topic

    but now when i click on the post from my home page (using Recent Site Wide Posts widget) it is still showing the "07/15" in the url (and therefore not going to the page).

  2. Hi Shane
    This is because the link to the post was saved in activity table while post was created /updated.

    You have two options at the moment.
    If there are only a few posts, update them manually. Go to , post->edit->save and the link should be updated in the activity.
    Another option will be to set a .htaccess redirect to handle this.
