# Conflict with Permalink Manager plugin

 * I’m experiencing a conflict with the **Permalink Manager Lite** plugin on all
   pages I use this combination.
   All redirects are resulting in **404 errors**.
    - Permalink Manager is configured to append `**.html**` to the end of URLs.
    - WordPress permalink settings are also set to `**%postname%.html**`.
    - Pretty Links such as `**/go/example.html**` are not working—they all return**
      404**.
    - example is not a permalink alias used as post or page.
 * WP 7.0.1 – PrettyLinks 4.0.6 – Permalink-Manager Lite 2.5.4
 * Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it?
   Thank you!

 * Just a heads-up to let you know that we’re working on your question. Our team
   is currently diagnosing the issue, and we should have more information for you
   in the next couple of hours. Appreciate your patience, and feel free to let me
   know if you have any other questions in the meantime. Thanks!
 * All the best,
   Euler.

 * Hello again, Robert!
 * Thanks for your patience. We tracked it down, and it’s on our side rather than
   a conflict with Permalink Manager. The current version isn’t handling slugs that
   contain a dot (like the .html in /go/example.html), so those links fall through
   and return a 404.
 * We’ve got a fix in the works that should go out in an upcoming release. Your 
   existing links should start working again automatically once you update, so you
   shouldn’t need to recreate anything. I’ll follow up here as soon as it’s out.
   Thanks again for the detailed report!
   All the best,Euler.

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. We’ve released Pretty Links
   4.0.7, which includes a fix for the redirect issue you ran into where links were
   returning 404s.
 * Updating to 4.0.7 should resolve it. You can update from your WordPress dashboard
   under Plugins, or under Dashboard, Pretty Links (it might take some time to appear
   there, in this case you can grab it directly from here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pretty-link/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pretty-link/)-
   > Download button).
 * Once you’ve updated, please check whether your links are redirecting as expected.
   If you’re still seeing any 404s or anything else that looks off, just let us 
   know and we’ll be glad to take another look.
 * All the best,
   Euler
