 * Hi
    The plugin is great, but I have a small problem with it.
 * I use this url structure: %__sku%.%product%.html
    The page automatically generates,**
   this perfect.**
 * **Problem:**
    I would like to import a **custom** url (WP ALL IMPORT), but does
   not import dot characters.
 * **sample:**
    sku2688.audi-compressor.clima.html **after import:** sku2688audi-
   compressorclimahtml
 * Use WP ALL Import PRO -> plugin Permalink Manager input field.
 * Why do points disappear?
 * Permalink PRO (2.2.7.5)
    latest WP ALL IMPORT PRO
 * Thank You!

 * Hi [@amondays](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amondays/),
 * I am not able to reproduce his bug on my server. Could you send me the URL with
   sample import file? My email address is contact /at/ maciejbis.net
 * Edit: I forgot about one thing. Did you set “**Strip special characters from 
   slugs**” option in Permalink Manager settings to: “**No**“?
 * Best regards,
    Maciej

 * To whom it may concern – the problem solution:
 * The dots will be preserved in custom permalinks only when “**Strip special characters
   from slugs**” option in Permalink Manager settings is set to “No”.
 * You can find more information on this here:
