# Preview Post and Permalink Structure Conflicts

 * I’m working on a plugin to ease the process of publishing posts and pages for
   my users. Until now I have not utilized the preview page / post function as it
   seemed clunky and punitive. Now I would like to utilize it, but I’m having a 
   problem.
 * If I have permalinks set to /%postname%/ I cannot preview pages / posts.
 * If using /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ preview returns as expected.
 * In both instances the preview link ?p=ID&preview=true redirects to ?page_id=ID
   as expected, but only works with a permalink configured as /%year%/%monthnum%/%
   day%/%postname%/.
 * I’m running a multisite and have tested this on several sites. It is not theme
   or plugin related.
 * Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 * Same here – even with latest WordPress version.
    Works perfectly with default
   permalink but not with /%postname%/
