Hi there,
Hope you are doing great.

I had selected wrong permalinks from the settings but now I have updated that one so I'm getting lots of 404 so should I redirect create 301 redirects for all of those links which are affected by permalink changes to new url?

Regards
Hamza

Yes you need to do 301 redirect for all the 404 links.

For 301 redirect you need to place code on your .htaccess file like below.

Code:

Redirect 301 /pagename http://www.domain.com/pagename.html

You need to create 301 redirect.

You can use redirection plugin to create redirects.
