 * Hello,
 * I’m using Polylang v0.8.5 with WAMP.
    When I use the default permalink type “
   [http://localhost/wp2/?p=123&#8221](http://localhost/wp2/?p=123&#8221);, everything
   works fine. (Thank you for your work, btw.)
 * But when I switch to the permalink type “[http://localhost/wp2/example-article/&#8221](http://localhost/wp2/example-article/&#8221);,(
   [http://localhost/wp2/%postname%/](http://localhost/wp2/%postname%/)) I keep 
   getting 404 errors.
 * What am I doing wrong ?
 * Thank you in advance for your answer,

   did you choose ? Which url are 404 ?
