 * Hello,
 * I installed this plugin and I’m having trouble making it work. I’m new to WordPress
   so was hoping someone can help me out.
 * I’m looking to set up the following pages for example
    [http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1](http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1)
   [http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services2](http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services2)
 * I do the following steps
    1. Add New Page 2. Enter the following title “Services1”
   3. Enter the following text in the Permalink textbox “Services/Services1” replacing
   the default text “?page_id=140” 4. Then I publish the page. 5. This automatically
   updates the “Custom Fields” section below. The name is set to “custom_permalink”
   and the value is set to “Services/Services1”. 6. Then I “view page” but get a
   404 error. The url is “[http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1&#8221](http://testsite.azurewebsites.net/Services/Services1&#8221);
 * Some additional info
    1. WordPress version 9.8.3 2. Settings – Permalinks is 
   set to “post name” 3. Custom Permalinks version 0.7.18
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks
