# Custom Postype Slug Issue

 * Heh guys,
 * I’m trying to do something that should be relatively simple but struggling to
   get the urls I want to work.
 * Bascially I want to have the ability to create new products and have the relevant
   product pages within them. This I have done using custom post types, defining
   a new custom post type and new custom taxonomy.
 * The problem I’m having is with the rewrite rule. When I use the one defined in
   the code below, it works for that particular custom post when I flush the permalinks,
   however the other pages on the site do not (It throws a 404)! When I replace 
   it with “products/product-name/subpage” it seems to work fine. Seems a bit odd.
 * I want to have the following permalink (commented out in code below)
    product-
   name/subpage
 * Currently I can only get this to work
    products/product-name/subpage
 * See code below. I also have a function to replace the Taxonomy slug with Post
   Type slug in url in my functions.php file.
 * Would be great if anyone could give me a hand with this.
 *     ```
       function my_custom_post_work() {
           $labels = array(
               'name'               => _x( 'Product Feature', 'post type general name' ),
               'singular_name'      => _x( 'Product Feature', 'post type singular name' ),
