I have the same thing Ashworth. I’d be keen if you or anyone else has the solution for this!
The nightly build (Stable tag: 0.9.3) seems to have resolved this
https://github.com/Toro-Unit/custom-post-type-permalinks
Thanks very much! I can confirm operability – ran some tests on a messy test bed here:
http://test3.lowcarbbreadcentral.com.au/posts/ (no guarantees as to how long this is valid for as I’m doing a complete test run of a heap of customisations and URLs will be changing and breaking).
Sample URLs generated pretty effortlessly were:
Here’s some sample URL’s generated. All segments should be self documenting:
/catw-slug/widgetcat-1/
/catw-slug/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/
/catw-slug/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-3/
/tagw-slug/wtag1/
/post-slug/widgetcat-1/widget-1/
/post-slug/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widget-2/
/post-slug/widgetcat-1/widgetcat-2/widgetcat-3/widget-3/
All custom categories kept their structures, no 404. Ditto posts.
This (IMO) is a good improvement over the WP defaults as documented here http://test3.lowcarbbreadcentral.com.au/home/test-8-default-rewrites-redux/ which is probably enough.
This plugin now improves the “best” I could come up with on WP defaults alone, as documented here: http://test3.lowcarbbreadcentral.com.au/home/test-9-default-wp-urls-for-cts-and-cps/ – your plugin allows custom post URLs that (sort of) represent the hierarchy of content.
That first URL fragment is killing me!
Thanks again though ToroUnit – you guys are rocking it.
