# plugin affects permalink structure?

 * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-affects-permalink-structure/)
 * Installed wp-publications succesfully. Works as specified.
 * But I had selected that my permalink structure should have the ‘day and name’
   structure (under Settings/Permalinks), and after installing wp-publications WordPress
   was not able to display any of my pages. This was unsettling! In a blog post 
   on internet I found a suggestion to revert to the standard permalink structure(
   in which pages show as ?p=123), and that restored my website functionality.
 * However, I am not very happy with this situation. Why does wp-publications affect
   the permalink structure? Can this be avoided? Can my website be reverted to the‘
   day and name’ structure? (I found that even uninstalling wp-publications does
   not allow me to revert to the ‘day and name’ structure, as wordpress cannot find
   my pages that way.)
 * Pleae help!

 * I may have found a solution. I commented out the line
    flush_rewrite_rules();
   in plugin.php Apperently, this allows me to reinstate the ‘day and name’ permalink
   structure, and wp-publications still works. At least, I hope so. Is there any
   functionality that is affected by this solution?
