I’m having this same issue. Any chance there’s a solution?
Same issue here.
If I enter /%category%/%postname%/ in source and /%postname%/ in destination and I click save, source is changed to /tegory%/%postname%/ – cutting off “%ca”.
I can change it directly in the database via phpMyAdmin, but the old links still end up in 404, and, well, after doing so, the Simple 301 Redirects options page has been blanked. If I do not insert /%ca in the front, and just change a letter for another, then the change is still in the database and in the Simple 301-page. Serious bug somewhere?
Also, does it work if with nested categories?
EDIT: Ehm, just deleted your plugin via WordPress adminpage, and the uninstall didn’t delete the table(s) in the database?

Same issue here
Entering
Source: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Destination: /%postname%/
After saving
Source: /%year%/%monthnum%/y%/%postname%/
Destination: /%postname%/
It seems that the issue is with the sanitize_text_field() function.
This function according to the codex does the following
Checks for invalid UTF-8, Convert single < characters to entity, strip all tags, remove line breaks, tabs and extra white space, strip octets.
So if we take into consideration the following list of URL encoded characters the function removes all the characters that seem as url encoded characters in our case
%ca and %da
I have the technical knowledge to fix this issue hopefully the author will fix this first.
Same issue. Hopefully this is a bug and not intentional. Really need /%postname%/ to redirect to /%category%/%postname%/
Hi !
I still have this issue and can’t change my permalink structure from “emploi/%postname%/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/” to “%category/%postname%”.
