 * Hi guys, is it possible to change permalinks method also after having started
   the blog? Will all of them automatically regenerated? Just to know if I can start
   testing them.
 * Best, chr

 * Yes, and yes.

 * Don’t forget: if people/visitors start to bookmark individual posts and/or making
   links to such posts, changing the permalink structure will cause a lot of 404
   Not Found…

 * I don’t know how Kafkaesqui can say “yes and yes” with confidence, when that 
   statement is obviously false. I have wordpress 2.0 [http://The-Singers.com](http://The-Singers.com)
   and changed the permalinks after installed and posted 5 posts – and it’s been
   a nightmare ever since with my permalinks, and lack of a way to fix this error.
   It’s driving me nuts that I don’t know why it can’t be fixed when everyone else
   thinks it should be. I’m not really posting anything, for reasons that Moshu 
   suggests … I am still hopeful that the permalinks can be changed, and will create
   new page URLS.

 * How is what I said “obviously false?”
 * The question was is it *possible* to change permalinks after one starts their
   blog, and will they automatically change. I have not had any issues setting and
   resetting permalinks in 2.0, and I’m confident in stating a LOT of users have
   this same, trouble-free experience.
 * This is not to say there are no problems with it, and I’m sorry you’re running
   into them PetLvr, but I don’t appreciate being referred to as a liar.

 * (sorry didn’t mean to refer to you as such or in that way- my apologies)
 * I was referring to part of gabon’s question “automatically generated” because,
   in my specific experience – that answer was a definate ‘No’ and I’m still in 
   turmoil and frustrated.
