Changing category of posts in WordPress
seo;wordpress
Only if your permalinks included the category will changing the category affect the URL of the posts. If the URL changes, WordPress will automatically tell search engines that the URL has been redirected and the search engines will not care. Therefore, changing your category does not inherently affect your SEO.However, assuming your category slug is part of the URL for your pages, some slugs are better for keyword searches than other slugs. You have to research what keywords you want to target and decided what slugs best help your SEO. Yoast SEO plugin is an excellent tool for learning more about these types of issues.Summary: changing your category slug does not affect SEO but whatever your slug is can affect your SEO. In other words: don't worry.
