# Creating Sections for Post Types

 * I’m trying to create this page structure within WordPress:
 *     ```
       - Home                       (http://example.com/)
       - Blog                         (http://example.com/blog/)
           - Blog Post              (http://example.com/blog/blog-post-name/)
       - Projects                    (http://example.com/projects/)
           - Projects Post         (http://example.com/projects/project-post-name/)
       ```
   
 * Following the WordPress Codex guide [Making Your Blog Appear in a Non-Root Folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/Making_Your_Blog_Appear_in_a_Non-Root_Folder)
   I’m able to create this structure:
 *     ```
       - Home                      (http://example.com/)
       - Blog                        (http://example.com/blog/)
           - Blog Post             (http://example.com/blog/blog-post-name/)
       ```
   
 * But not the “Projects” section. The Codex documents how to move where your blog
   sits, but not handle different post types in this way.
 * I’m trying to achieve “Blog” page as the index of all “Blog Post” posts, and “
   Projects” page the index of all “Project Post” posts.
 * I haven’t set up my post types yet, since I assume the best way to do it would
   be based on the way these pages were set up. Any recommendations on that would
   be appreciated.

 * I would just use the built in post categories, set the slugs exactly how I want
   them when I create the categories and then update my permalink settings.

 * Thanks for that. You think that approach is better than setting the default posts
   page to “Blog” and setting up a custom “Project” post type?

 * I find custom post types are easy to overuse, at least for me. That said, if 
   you need to simplify the editing screen or modify default behavior, ex: add heirarchy,
   they’re great. If you don’t need to do that, I just like to use the default categories
   as far as they’ll take me before it becomes easier to write a plugin or add CPTs.

 * That’s fair enough, thanks for your input.
