    I am not referring to a specific theme, otherwise I would be posted in specific thread of that theme.
    Well I have two questions
    Does the theme change in the Dashboard of WordPress have an impact on the site itself? If I change and activate other theme I want.
    And I have another question, does the change of theme have a negative influence on Google’s search results, Bing etc.? as long as I don’t change change permalinks? I ask these because many themes are not SEO friendly and that’s why I asked you, and I am not an WordPress expert.
    You surely know better and you have faced this thing.

    Thank you in advance

    Yes, activating a theme will change your live site.

    does the change of theme have a negative influence on Google’s search results

    We’d need a crystal ball for that, but seriously, yes because search engines are robots that read the HTML of a page. The HTML changes for each theme because every theme is unique in some way. Whether that changes for the better or worse is not something we can answer.

    Thank you for the answer

    Yes, but I specified I will not change permalinks in WordPress but even so have an impact due of changes of a theme in search results?
