How to change old permalink?

Well you have several options, but you definitely need to redirect the url.

You can either achieve the redirection via a WordPress plugin or through your .htaccess file.

If you would like to use a plugin, I would recommend “Redirection” by John Godley.

It is easy to use. Just type the url you want to redirect from & to.
