Hey guys, i have recently created a website 5 days back. I have uploaded around 4 posts in it. All my posts got indexed. But today, I noticed one thing that my posts were not showing under the categories in the URL.
So, I googled and made some changes in it. My permalink before was %postname, but now I changed it to %categories/%postname. My problem of url got resolved.
But after updating the permalinks, my website, sitemap.xml got disappeared. And Google search console is not able to fetch it. And i also tried to manually search by adding sitemap.xml to the end of my website. But it’s not showing any results.
NOTE:- My wordpress came with monsterinsights, allinoneseo automatically installed, so my sitemap was automatically generated. I did not uploaded manually.
What should I do now, I’m quite scared and new to wordpress, I made a lot of effort in making the content. Do i have to delete them now. Please help, i would really appreciate it.

Changing your permalinks, changes all current links as well. You are probably killing your seo right now as all indexed links are probably 404’ing. Change it back or implement the redirects at least.
