 * Hi there, I’ve been using your plugin for some time with no problems.
 * The problem now is this: When I write a new post and I preview it, everything
   is OK. When I change the name of the permalink to something custom and I then
   preview it (before I publish it), I get a 404 error. Is this normal?

 * Hi [@aspaonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aspaonline/)
 * yes, it’s a normal behavior that the Permalink doesn’t work for you till the 
   Page Publish. But, i think it needs to changed.
 * Let me know your thoughts on it.
 * Thanks,
    Sami

 * [@aspaonline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aspaonline/) Apology for my
   first comment. I have re-checked the things and Permalinks with Draft are working
   fine. That issue was resolved earlier.
 * It should not come up. Which of the Plugin Version you are using? Is it the latest
   version?

 * Yes, it’s the latest version (0.9.3). Any ideas why it’s still coming up for 
   me then?
