I recently changed the permalink format of my blog so the date is removed:
http://site.com/blog/2011/01/post-name
is now
http://site.com/blog/post-name
The problem is the url with date is not redirected to new url. I tried some regular expressions in .htaccess but still get 404. Any ideas?
The solution was
RedirectMatch 301 /blog/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.*)$ /blog/$3

Use this rewrite:
RewriteRule blog/\d{4}/\d{2}/(.*) blog/$1 [R=301, L]
If your whole Wordpress installation is under the blog directory, and that's where the .htaccess file is located - use this:
RewriteRule \d{4}/\d{2}/(.*) $1 [R=301, L]
