Custom Permalinks Setting in Wordpress

[Magical Wonders]

Yes, they are relevant for SEO, and opinions from experts vary as to 
which is the most effective. Yoast and many others suggest keeping it 
simple  by using /%postname%/. However, others argue against that and 
suggest different structures! It's hard to know who is right sometimes! 
:-) Personally I like to keep things simple, but I can see why other 
structures may be more appropriate depending on the site involved. As 
far as SEO goes, switching from the default settings to a custom 
structure is definitely a good idea. :-)

Best wishes,

Myles
