 * Hi guys,
 * I don’t want to use the default hierarchical postname for the permalinks, because
   I might move the article to other parent (category) in the future. I want to 
   use simpler permalinks which looks like this:
 * domain.com/article/1234 or domain.com/?p=1234
 * I tried the permalinks settings from WordPress but it doesn’t work. The URL becomes
   like this:
 * domain.com/?docs=parent-slug/child-slug
 * Any idea?
