There might be better ways using filters or apache/nginx rewrites, but here are two ideas to consider from the admin UI point of view (untested): Idea 1: You can always visit /wp-admin/options-general.php change the whole the site url: but I don’t think you’re looking for that, since this will also change the home url.

The magic you’re referring to happens in redirect_canonical(). And more specifically, redirect_guess_404_permalink(). You can cut in ahead of redirect_canonical by hooking onto the template_redirect action with a slightly higher priority – in this case, anything lower than 10. function wpse_145210_redirect_canonical() { if ( is_404() && $name = get_query_var( ‘name’ ) ) { // The following … Read more
