Post permalinks not being parsed in Jekyll on GitHub Pages

I've created a new site at GitHub Pages, using Jekyll. I'm using a custom permalink format in the following form:

permalink: /:title

This is because I've moved my blog over from WordPress and want previously existing links to continue working. When I run the server locally with "jekyll serve", it works fine - however, once it's hosted on GitHub Pages, the links don't get parsed correctly, leading to tags like this one:

<a class="post-link" href="/:title">Markdown and HTML</a>

Further information - I am using a custom domain, with my _config.yml containing:

url: http://domain.com

And my CNAME containing:

domain.com

Could anyone shed some light on why this occurs? Thanks.

You're trying to use a functionality that was implemented in Jekyll 2.5. As Github pages runs Jekyll 2.4, it breaks :-(

The only way to do what you want is to set default permalink in you _config.yml file.

permalink: :title/
