 * Hopefully not too dumb of a question…or too dumb of an attempted change but…….
   Two days ago I changed my custom permalink structure from /%postname%/ to /%postname%
   Attempting to drop the ending /
    The next day (yesterday) checking webmaster 
   tools I saw that only my home page was still being indexed, so I added permalinks
   migration to my permalinks plugin and added the original /%postname%/ structure
   as the “old structure” Yes in hindsight I should have known to do that right 
   away but I’m still very much a WP noob. Now today I’m still seeing just my home
   page indexed in webmaster tools, but no crawl errors. I also have XML Sitemap
   plugin and have checked my sitemap submission in webmaster tools and it does 
   show my pages without that last / Am I “allowed” to drop that last / from my 
   permalinks like that? I’ve seen it not appear in other’s WP sites. Do I just 
   need to be patient for google to re-index my pages? Thanks in advance.
