I just tried changing my permalink to a Custom Structure to this /%postname%/
& checked the box next to it & it keeps going back to /sample-post/

Is it suppose to do this shouldn't the box that says Custom Structure stay
checked instead of Post name.

    Hi meaker seeker,

    Could it be something as simple as not ALSO clicking the 'Save changes' button down at the bottom left of that page?

    Warmest regards,

        That is just a quirk in the way WordPress displays it.

        It should be working as you want it to.

        My dashboard says

        unselected below

        permalinks are working as intended.

        Fastest way is to look and see if it works

          This is the easiest and appropriate way.

          That structure was so popular, they added it to the list of default selections like this:

            Should I remove /%postname%/ altogether & just check the box
            that says Post name & let wordpress do it would that be the best
            way to do this.
