 * Hello,
 * I am working on a travel blog / dairy. I preferred the permalink format I am 
   looking at is:
 * domain.com/travel/”country”/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%
 * It is kinda long, but I think that it’s pretty sensible for the purpose of my
   blog.
 * Since I have contents that pre-date today (and indeed, the day I started my blog),
   I would need to backdate some posts. No problem there.
 * However, I found that %year%, %monthnum% and %day% is based on the current day,
   and unlike %postname%, can’t be edited.
 * Is there a known workaround, perhaps via a plug-in?
 * Thanks!
