<p>Cornerstone makes WordPress practical for <strong>any type of site</strong> by enhancing its content management capabilities.  Too long have we had to resort to hacks like using categories in menus to build a pseudo site structure (you know what I’m talking about).</p>
<p>Cornerstone enhances your WordPress site in several ways.  One of the most useful features is one that allows WordPress to be used for sites that go beyond just blogging– <strong>Posts in Sections</strong>.  Create a section, add posts to it, they show up when visitors navigate to that section.  Simple as that.  It really is, but because you’re awesome <a href="http://archetyped.com/know/how-to-organize-posts-in-sections-in-wordpress-with-cornerstone/" rel="nofollow ugc">here’s a tutorial on how to do it</a>.</p>
<h3>Thanks for the Support!</h3>

Cornerstone

I found the idea of this plugin quite useful so I was tempted to give a five star rating. But the permalink function is not fully configurable and does not work without trailing slashes which in some cases might be wanted. 
Since I found that a central part of the task the plugin should be used for is not functional I only gave it a 3 stars rating.



Does its job but breaks permalinks
