 * I have created a custom post type to manage Events and I am trying to create 
   the permalink structure for the post. In the page I have created a custom field
   called Event Date using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. I would like the permalink
   structure use the custom variable in the structure if possible. I have outlined
   the custom structure I hope to achieve below and my custom post type.
 * **Desired Permalink Structure**
    /events/%Event Date Year%/%Event Date Month%/%
   postname%
 * **Example**
    /events/2014/12/My-Event-Name
 * I would appreciate any help or advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Anthony
