BUG REPORT permalink structure not saving

[jlyon1515]

What browser?
What plugins?

This definetly is not a known problem and unique to you so far.

Are you sure your settings are even saving at all.
See what the website.xml says

I have been using GetSimple since January, and this has happened in all of my web browsers and operating systems consistently since the very beginning. I use Chrome v 52 on my home Windows 10 PC, and Chrome on my work Mac (El Capitan), but also Firefox sometimes on each, and it happens in both browsers.

To test more, I just opened up Microsoft Edge  (which I have never used) on my Windows 10 machine, and went to my website, logged in, and then went to the settings page. Looking at the website.xml file, it showed permalink was set to %parents%/%slug%. On that settings page, Custom Permalink Structure was showing the default placeholder text NOT what was in the website.xml file, and the email field was blank (even though I had previously set it). Without touching any other fields, I type in my email address and hit Save Settings. Now, when I look at my website.xml file, permalink is empty. Now I check my multi-level pages, and their URLs aren't multi-level, it's just parent and slug. So this same thing happened in a Edge, which I have never logged into my website with, and this is identical to what I was experiencing in Chrome.
