Hello,
The main HTML output channel we use for articles was created with the default setting of URI Case: Mixed. We have since learned that SEO can be improved by using all lowercase characters in your URL. However, when we tried changing the URI Case to Lowercase, we found that it caused some serious problems. All references in our main blog to existing articles were output NOT as their original Mixed case, but all lowercase - which effectively broke all of our links to existing articles. (Our server is a Unix server, so case matters).
Is there any way to switch to lowercase URIs going forward - for new articles only? It seems that a call to get_uri is actually building the URI on the fly and not calling it from the story_uri table.
Thank you,
