 * Hi,
    I’m using this permalink structure:
 * /%category%/%postname%/
 * but when I try to use something like this:
 * /%category%[-static-text]/%postname%/
 * Changing [-static-text] with a constant word. I doesn’t work,
 * Why ?
    Regards…

 * In what way does it not work? Does WordPress generate an error? Do your permalinks
   become dysfunctional? Is static text not working? Could you give some examples
   of the permalink structures you’re trying?

 * Is a blog about lyrics, my current permalink is like this:
 * /%category%/%postname%/
 * where category = artist/band
    postname = song
 * I would like to have the following:
 * /%category%-lyrics/%postname%/
 * ‘-lyrics’ is the static text. As a postfix in %postname% works, but i want it
   as a postfix in %category%
 * The error is 404 Page not found.
