I have done this permalinks many time do I need to edit my htaccess file, my website is very new so it won’t matter to me.
I meant permalins changes
Hello,
If your website is new and you do not have much traffic then it must be fine.
However if you have several visits in the old structure then you must add regex rules to redirect the old foramt to the new format using the Rank Math Redirection module.
The htaccess file does not need to be changed for this at all.
We hope that helps, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
