Hi, I intend to change the permalink structure from the current method of post name to a custom structure of /%category%/%postname%/
Will this have any impact on the existing posts? Do I need to set up redirects?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
If you’re changing your blog post’s slug, then WordPress will automatically redirect the URL of your old post to the new one without any extra effort from your side.
If for some reason, WordPress doesn’t automatically redirect your old URLs to the new ones, you can do that with the help of the Rank Math redirection module.
To enable this automatic post redirection feature of Rank Math, you need to ensure that you’ve activated the Redirections module by navigating to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard > Modules.
Once you’ve activated the Redirections module, head over to the WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Redirections > Auto Post Redirect and enable the option.
Have a look at this knowledge base article for further understanding – https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-redirect-posts-after-changing-urls/
Hope this helps.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
