 * hi! Although I thought I planned this all very well, I discovered only lately
   that I still had to change the name of the permalink names of my pages from numbers
   to the page title names…
 * I have been warned that this switch might mess up things, and that is a great
   worry for me, since it’s concerning many pages and also many, many links within
   the website…
 * Can anyone maybe tell me what is wisdom in this case? Is there anyone who had
   experiences with this in the most recent wordpress version?

 * I read the text and am quite relieved, since there are no important external 
   links yet.
 * But I have a question about this sentence: “All of the internal links should 
   update correctly if they have been added as part of WordPress. Any manual links
   may need to be updated.”
 * What do they mean with ‘manual links’?
 * Are those links to external pages, or also internal links that I typed in manually
   in my tablepress excel file?
