 * Hello,
 * I want to change the perma link on a page theme basis.
    This is what i’ve got
   so far in my functions.php:
 *     ```
       //Change permalink to subject
       function change_permalink_themebasis( $post ) {
           $template = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_page_template' ,true );
           if ( 'page-branches.php' == $template) {
               global $wp_rewrite;
            	$wp_rewrite->page_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . 'branches/%pagename%/';
           } elseif ( 'page-modules.php' == $template) {
       	 	global $wp_rewrite;
            	$wp_rewrite->page_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . 'modules/%pagename%/';
       	} else{
       		global $wp_rewrite;
            	$wp_rewrite->page_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . '%pagename%/';
       	}
       }
       add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_page', 'change_permalink_themebasis' );
       ```
   
 * It works but the problem is that the front page gives an 404.

 * Found out it’s something with the following code:
 *     ```
       $wp_rewrite->page_structure = $wp_rewrite->root . 'branches/%pagename%/';
       ```
