 * Hi Charlie. I’ve come across another problem I could use some help with. I’m 
   trying to include the category in the url. From [another post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-after-setting-custom-permalink?replies=2)
   I read I get the impression it can be done but it doesn’t seem to be working.
   I’ve enabled categories on WPMOLY and added /%category%/ to the permalink structure,
   but when I add a new movie, select a category and type in a title, the permalink
   still defaults to “/wordpress/movies/the-title”
 * Is there any way to set it to “/wordpress/category-name/movies/movie-title” ?
   Thanks.

 * Hi Nathaniel,
 * Technically it should be possible, but I’m not quite sure how it would work with
   the plugin as there’s already quite a few issues with the way it handles permalinks…
   Probably not a good idea right now, but I’ll keep this in mind for the next versions!

 * I thought it was just a problem with my installation. Isn’t it already available
   through the dashboard in Taxonomies > General > Enable Categories?

 * That setting simply allow movies to support categories, it does not affect the
   permalinks; that’s quite illogical now that you’ve mentioned it, enabling categories
   should imply supporting the related permalink structure. I’ll see to it in a 
   future version!
