   Hi,

   I have a multisite network set up. For simplicity, let's assume there are only two sites (in reality, we have many more).

   Site A == defines a custom post type (faculty_profile)
   Site B == we'd like to pull in a list of faculty_profiles from Site A

   I have it working, using code like this:

   http://pastebin.com/APJ3brnf

   This seems to work ok. The list of posts is pulled fine. But, the permalinks are not correct.

   Instead of the pretty CPT permalinks, I get

   http://somesite.com/sitea/2011/03/07/some-slug/

   While the link isn't correct, it does redirect to the proper link.

   ie; http://somesite.com/sitea/faculty/some-slug/

   Even with switch-site-rewrite, I get the same results.

   Could someone point out what I am doing wrong here? Thanks.

   Is the custom post type registered in the second site?

   Thanks Ron. It's not registered. But, I will try that and see what happens. I wanted to avoid it...

   Thanks Things seem better when the post type is registered. No more permalink issues.

   Is it proper to "temporarily" register the post type when the shortcode is called? I'm first checking to see if the post type is registered, with:

   if ( !post_type_exists( 'faculty_profile' ) )

   If it's not registered, I register it. If it is registered, I assume things will work.

   Is there a better way to do that?

   edit: saw your tweet about looking at how sitewide tags does it. I'll take a look. thanks.
