 * I’m getting roughly 20 of these erros on every page (with debug turned on) :
 * Undefined index: path in /wp-content/plugins/custom-permalinks/custom-permalinks.
   php on line 261
 * This doesn’t affect functionality as far as I can see but I thought I’d report
   it anyways

 * I ran into this issue today. It looks like the issue is with the output of the
   parse_URL path.
 * Here’s the modified code I used to fix the errors:
 * Lines 96 & 97 become:
 *     ```
       $url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('wpurl'), PHP_URL_PATH);
       $request = ltrim(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($url)),'/');
       ```
   
 * Lines 154 & 155:
 *     ```
       $url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('url'), PHP_URL_PATH);
       $request = ltrim(substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], strlen($url)),'/');
       ```
   
 * Lines 260 & 261:
 *     ```
       $url = parse_url(get_bloginfo('url'), PHP_URL_PATH);
       $request = ltrim(substr($string, strlen($url)),'/');
       ```
   
 * Line 266:
    `return ($string{0} == '/' ? '/' : '') . trailingslashit($url) . $
   _CPRegisteredURL;`
 * The changes are just in syntax, parsing just the path with PHP_URL_PATH rather
   than parsing the whole path, and calling $url[‘path’], which wasn’t getting defined.

 * Just installed the plugin today, also seeing the same issue with these Notices.
 * Thanks for the fix Jonathan. Hoping the plugin gets an update soon.

 * Yep, those “undefined index” messages are annoying when debugging is turned on
   BUT I would like to point out that this one needs more urgent attention:
 * > `Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version
   > 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and
   > capabilities instead.`

 * I actually fixed this bug to use the plugin for a client. You can find my “fixed”
   version on GitHub: [https://github.com/ericmann/custom-permalinks/tree/dev](https://github.com/ericmann/custom-permalinks/tree/dev)
 * I’ve also sent the changes back to the original developer via email but have 
   yet to hear back. I’ll pull in the latest release (that fixed a minor compatibility
   issue elsewhere) when I get the chance to the GitHub version is up to date.
