 * OK,
 * I know there are a million posts on changing URL structure, and I’ve looked at
   many, and can’t seem to solve my problem.
 * My problem is that I want to change the URL structure of custom post types within
   my theme (Perfect theme). For example, there originally was a ‘Projects’ custom
   post type & all posts made to that post type appear as this url [http://www.abc.com/](http://www.abc.com/)**
   projects**/PostTitle
 * I’ve since used that post type to post different information, so I don’t want
   the ‘projects’ to appear in the URL, eg: [http://www.abc.com/PostTitle](http://www.abc.com/PostTitle)
   OR eg. [http://www.abc.com/SomethingElse/PostTitle](http://www.abc.com/SomethingElse/PostTitle)
 * I’ve tried changing the permalink structure in the wordpress settings, but that
   does nothing… I think I need to change something within the core code.
 * Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 * thnx

 * Hi,
 * You just need to add custom slug in register_post_type call.
    add `'rewrite' 
   => array('slug' => 'SomethingElse')`
 * to arguments array.
