Does resetting permalinks to what it was effects visibility?

Setting/resetting permalinks flushes/rebuilds the permalink cache and rebuilds the part of .htaccess between the BEGIN WORDPRESS and END WORDPRESS comments.

Hi Steven, thanks for replying.

Well, I had to set them again because of some files replaced. Does this have any effect on site visibility/SEO by any chance?

Cheers.

If you didn’t change things, no.

thanks, steven. I had one more issue. when i click on plugins in dashboard its redirecting to 404 page?

logout and clear your browser’s cache

still 404. i tried two times.

Add New and Editor under plugins works fine. It is just with plugins.php

plugins.php doesn’t get changed when you alter permalink.

Did you change your home/siteURLs? (NOTE: DO NOT CHANGE THEM NOW, I’m just asking)

Thanks. While I was trying to fix the fusion plugin conflict with the w3 total cache. plugins.php was renamed I just renamed it to normal. It’s working now. thanks for your help guys.
Cheers
