question about Permalink

Expression olfd_path to new path.

Source In the picture it is different from this one /%category%/%post_id%/
you can use rewrite if the url is known, but the plugin with the php code and many categories should avoid the overloading of the rules used in htaccess (if you can’t create a single rule that matches all your categories).

you can’t use wordpress variables but you have to use the path or a regex .. write in their support.
