 * Hi all,
    I just noticed the permalink structure on my website is set to “custom”.
   I wanted that to be “name and date”… Can I just change that setting in the permalinks
   menu, click “save changes” and have it changed like that without breaking my 
   site? Thanks a lot, Kind regards, Marius

 * It won’t break your site, but if any posts have been indexed by search engines,
   or bookmarked by users, then they won’t have the correct URL anymore.

 * Thanks for the reply!
    What does that mean exactly? They have to go back to my
   homepage and manually browse to the link themselves or …? Thanks a lot, kind 
   regards, Marius

 * Other question too: I have a number of links on my site, linking to the different
   pages of it… Will all these links still work after I change the structure?
    Thanks
   a lot, Kind regards, Marius

 * Hi,
    I changed the structure back to date and name. So far, everything still 
   works fine! Thanks a lot, kind regards, Marius
