Category Permalink Structure Conundrum

    Hi all,

    I acquired a site with a permalink structure that doesn’t use custom permalinks by parent/chile categories. This approach worked for the 1.0 version of the site but won’t scale with where I’m moving the site’s focus.

    So, here’s the conundrum:

    I can implement a category-based permalink structure no problem.

    But there are select Posts that are currently at the root domain https//setup.gg/[slug] and have no categorization other than Uncategorized currently.

    If updating permalink settings to category-based, these pages will then become https//:setup.gg/uncategorized/[slug].

    I’d like to avoid this and not have to enter 301s for some of the most important pages on the site.

    If 100% needed, I can add 301s and categorize these pages and adjust the permalink structure to something other than uncategorized.

    The category-based approach will work well for new content I’m producing, but these select pages are the conundrum that invalidates the category-based permalink approach, AFAIK.

    Is there a way to have my cake and eat it too, to keep just select Posts at the root domain level, but everything else to follow category-based permalinks?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
