However, I've haven't tried it - I'd rather not take the risk. Fortunately, I changed mine after only one post - so it didn't matter that it was broken - no one read it!

Hockley Tue, 10 Jul 2007 05:13:18 +0000 http://www.blog-tutorials.com/blog-tutorial/changing-your-wordpress-permalinks/#comment-864 Yes, changing permalinks is an important setup piece for any new WordPress blog. However, be sure to keep in mind that if you have an existing blog, which is being indexed by search engines and linked from other sites, that changing your permalinks will break those links. At that point it needs to be considered if the improved SEO of better permalinks is worth the damange of all of your incoming links being broken.

In that case, what WP does is give you a code you can insert into an the .htaccess file if you have one. You will also have to consult with your hosting provider if mod_rewrite is supported.

However, the example you give above using /%category%/%postname%/ may cause problems for beginners as outlined <a href="http://www.scratch99.com/2007/06/wordpress-permalink-customisation-caution-for-beginners/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Basically, using %category% is not sensible, unless you are very sure that your categories won’t change. I fell into this trap - as my blog matures, I need to tweak the categories, which would break my permalinks. Apart from that, great post!
