This sounds like the same issue you were having before with permalinks. Note that permalink settings have nothing to do with this plugin, it’s a server- and WordPress-configuration thing. If you have permalinks set up in WordPress and you are still unable to access those pages at their slug (/science-fiction/) that makes me wonder if your server environment is set up correctly. Are you actually using a localhost install or is that just an example you are giving? If it’s an example, check with your host to make sure the Apache module mod_rewrite is active. If you’re on a localhost, you’ll want to create a .php file (name it anything you want) and put the following code in it:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Then navigate to that page and look for mod_rewrite. If it’s not there, pretty permalinks will not work for you and you will need to set that up before you can try to use them. You should also check to see if you have an .htaccess file in the root directory of your WordPress installation. If it’s not there, pretty permalinks will not work.
I’m setting this issue as resolved since it’s not related to the plugin. You may want to post questions relating to permalinks to the general WordPress support forums.

Hum,
You right, I deploy the website and I change the configuration from permalink to choose PostName.
It works http://wordpressprint.azurewebsites.net/science-fiction/.
I don’t notice the mod_rewrite on the server and on local.

I notice the mod _SERVER[“IIS_UrlRewriteModule”] 7.1.1913.0 and effectively the link below talks about IIS_UrlRewriteModule

Hey, I noticed you’re on a Windows NT server (at least on the live site). Does that mean you’re running IIS? If so, IIS has a mod_rewrite-like module but I don’t remember how it works. I do know that the best you can get is sort of pretty, where the url looks like this: mydomain.com/index.php/some-link/.
Unfortunately, I avoid IIS at all costs, so I don’t remember how to configure it to get that working.
Hi Chris,
I was not clear on my previous answer.
It works with the IIS_UrlRewriteModule on the server so it’s good 🙂
I use Wamp in local, I notice the mod_rewrite is not enabled
I close the ticket.
Regards,
Alexandre
