I’m currently mid trying to get our long standing wordpress blog into  
Radiant and am using the simple blog archive system to get the content  
in.  
However, I have one issue whereby I need the old Wordpress URL’s to be  
easily repointable/rewritable to the new ones.

Wordpress URLs take the form: /year/month/post-slug  
Radiant wants to do: /blog/year/month/day/post-slug

The /blog part I can deal with, but the day is causing me issues. Is  
there any way I can get Radiant to work without the day part in the  
route?

One easy way would be to setup a rewriteRule in your .htaccess.

My advice may have been too quick and inaccurate. After reading over  
your original question, it might be touch to “add” a day part to your  
original WP urls to make them point to the new urls. Unfortunately, I  
haven’t had much experience with the blog extension to give you a  
better answer.

The issue with this is that I can’t re-write into the URL the day…
