Permalink issues

[leesei]

This is an umbrella issue pertaining permalink in Hexo.
We should document how permalink (or link in general) is resolved from config.permalink, post.permalink file name, slug, title.
These cause quite a bit of confusion for the users and escaping of special characters.
#1812
#1608
#1110
#881 / #1258

hexojs/hexo-generator-sitemap#1 Use URL safe characters (slug should be serving this purpose)
hexojs/hexo-generator-sitemap#13 Use permalink as canonical URL (in HTML header and sitemap)
#1822 . in post file name

From #1822, I recommend issuing a warning for posts and assets with non-URL safe characters (slugtize(filename) !== filename).
We can inform users to use post.permalink instead.

I see this is an umbrella issue, so I decide to append the issue here as discussion instead of posting a new (and duplicated) one.
The permalink overriding bug, refers to #1110 and #1158, was still happening in my hexo project as hexo version 3.2.2.
In config.yml, my permalink is:

permalink: :category/:year-:month-:day/

In front-matter, I set the permalink like:

permalink : /title-I-want/

but it did not override the permalink in config.yml.
I'm wondering that if I set the value in an appropriate format. What exactly the format is?

Solution provided by @liudongkai was not a handy one that I expected, since I have 180+ posts that migrated from wordpress. Re-assign a permalink to each post manually sounds incredible...
Any other suggestions would be very appreciated.

In front-matter, I set the permalink like:

permalink : /title-I-want/

but it did not override the permalink in config.yml.

can confirm (I'm assuming you're talking about post). It only override the :title/ part of config.yml.

Any updates? Seems that the issue is still there in hexo 3.8
