 * Hi 🙂 nice idea for a plugin
 * Just testing it out and I am getting a 404 for my posts after updating and saving
   the new custom permalink structure
 * Is there anything else I need to do? / why might I be getting a 404?
 * The url appears with the new variables in the address bar.
 * Many thanks in advance

 * Hi 🙂
 * I just have it local at the moment … so no url to give.
    I cannot put it in a
   live environment incase it has the same effect and all my posts go to a 404.
 * Is there anything I can check to provide you with more information?
 * Many thanks again

 * Hi,
 * If you set the permalink structure to %postname% does that produce 404 errors?
   Did you flush the permalinks by re-saving the permalink structure?

 * Hi 🙂
 * I have just tried it again … replacing the variables and it seems to work now…
   not sure if it was restarting MAMP that did it for my local host … but the article
   is appearing with the updated permalink..
 * I just tried to view articles from November …. so mydomain.com/2014/november/
   
   and I a getting a 404 for this the permalink structure is /%year%/%monthname%/%
   day%/%postname%/
 * would you expect a 404 for this? or a post list of all articles for November?
 * Thanks again

 * Hi,
 * I am glad the restart helped 🙂
 * Because WordPress doesn’t know how to handle _mydomain.com/2014/november/_ it
   will go to a 404.
 * Try this, change the permalink structure to one of the default provided by WordPress,
   say “Month and name”. The final URL would appear as [http://example.com/2014/11/sample-post/](http://example.com/2014/11/sample-post/)
 * Now try navigating to [http://example.com/2014/11/](http://example.com/2014/11/),
   you’d end up on a 404 page.
 * You can add a new rewrite rule to instruct WordPress how to handle that URL.
 * That’s an idea for the next plugin update 🙂
 * Thanks.

 * Cool thanks again 🙂
 * That would be a great addition for the next update … would enable even better
   date archive pages 🙂
