   Referencing this post here:

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-post-type-rewrite-permalink-and-exclude-base

   It appears that there is not a way to acheive results like this :

   "%custom_post_type_name%"/%taxonomyname_attached_to_custom_post_type%/%maybe_taxonomy_2_name%/%postname%/

   I'll use the movie site as an example:
   http://popcritics.com/movies

   "movies" I'm assuming is the custom post type.

   whereas genres could be classified as a taxonomy.

   Would it be possible to assign the "movies" custom post type a permalink url of "%movies%"/%genre%/ or something of that nature, Where you can nest taxonomies into the permalink structure.

   The only other way I could envision doing this is creating the Custom Post Type "movies" as Hierarchical and at the top level of this post type creating genre's "Comedy, Horror, Action" , then creating additional "movie" post types underneath their relevant genre.

   Ultimately, I hope to be able to add my movies , making mandatory genre (taxonomy) selections from the Add Movie screen and having, the Permalink build according to what is selected.

   You should be able to do that.

   I was able to modify the code in the blog link to create a %region% taxonomy,

   It updates correctly in the permalink field while Editing the post, However it rewrites to:

   http://localhost:8888/wordpress/newsroom/%region%/%year%/%monthnum%/summertime

   when trying to view post.
   This is a bit confusing to me.
