 * I’ve been working on my wordpress permalinks for a couple of days and can’t seem
   to figure out how to get them to work properly.
 * Here is the simple version of what i have and what i’m trying to achieve
 * I have 5 different categories (home, sports, beauty, arts, food)
    I have 3 types
   of posts (post, pages, events(custom)) Each post_type can and will be associated
   to only 1 category
 * Here is what I would like to get in terms of permalinks
 *     ```
       site.com/%category% = a different page for each caetgory (not an archieve)
       site.com/%category%/%post_type% = archive listing of post_type
       site.com/%category%/%post_type%/%post% = single of post
   
       site.com/%category%/%page_slug% = the contents of a page
       ```
   
 * When i look at the rewriterules that are being applied i get close but it doens’t
   include my category in the rewrite part
 * `%category%/event//?$ index.php?post_type=event`
    Any help to get this working
   would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 * You can’t use your site in permalinks.
