WordPress Permalink with custom post type and custom taxonomy

Question

I have a custom post type called product and a custom taxonomy for products called product_types, which is hierarchical, so I have sub-categories in it.

I want the perm

Answer 1

firstly I would double check the function which is creating your custom post type, within that function there should be an element called: rewrite

ie:

register_post_type( 'products',
   'menu_position' => 25, // below pages
   'public' => true,
   'show_ui' => true,
   'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'product' ) <-- this is what you need!
);

also check the register_taxonomy function for the same!

ie:

 register_taxonomy(
  'team',array('product_types'), 
    array(
    'public' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
    'query_var' => true,
    'hierarchical' => true, <-- this is needed!
    'rewrite' => true <-- this is what you need!
  )); 

the only thing left to check is:

your permalink structure is set to /%postname%/ you may have to reset to default, save it, then re-set to /%postname%/ and save,

hope that helps :)
