 * I want to set permalinks to the custom structue /%postname%/ .
 * When I tick [Custom Structure] and type /%postname%/ into the field,
    then click“
   save changes,” it defaults to the setting just above which is [Post name].
 * What’s up with that? Could there be a conflict with one of my plugins?
    How do
   I troubleshoot this?
 * Help will be much appreciated.

 * The custom structure you’re typing in is the same as setting the option to ‘Post
   name’ in the default list. If you change it to something that isn’t on that default
   list, the Custom Structure radio will remain checked with whatever structure 
   you’ve set.
 * Hope this helps.
