    Hi,
    Just a quick help.If I change the category slug,it affects my indexed pages?

    My current permalink structure is category and post name.So just wondering if there will be any changes if I change the category slug.

    Regards,
    CD

    wordpress uses the category slug in category urls: xxx.com/category/music/

    so, if you change the category slug, it will be: xxx.com/newslug/music/

    changing the category slug will not change your single post urls.

    your old url will be 404 if you change the category slug ... however you can do 301 redirects ...

    yes it will affect SE results for some time .. if you do 301 redirect ... all new urls will get indexed.
