 Forgive me if this isn't a bug, however I believe it is. But when you try
 to sanitize the string "%category%" with the WordPress native function
 '''sanitize_text_field()''' it will strip the "%ca" leaving the string
 "tegory%". Maybe this is a security precaution but it seems like something
 that should be fixed.

 I found this while trying to simulate the custom permalink options in my
 own custom option and noticed anything containing "%ca" is removed.

 Thanks for your time.
