 * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-category-url-1/)
 * I’ve searched around and have not found the answers im looking for. By default
   I have:
    – example.com/blog (blog archive) – example.com/blog/category/announcements(
   single taxonomy view)
 * Now I’ve created a custom post type & taxonomy (categories) to go along with 
   it, but I’m having trouble mirroring the blog’s URL structure. For example my
   goal is:
    – example.com/talks (blog archive) – example.com/talks/category/support(
   single taxonomy view)
 * Here is what I have so far:
 *     ```
       function uc_add_talks_post_type() {
         $talks_labels = array(
           'name'                => 'Talks',
           'singular_name'       => 'Talk',
           'all_items'           => 'All Talks',
           'add_new'             => 'Add new',
           'add_new_item'        => 'Add new Talk',
           'edit_item'           => 'Edit Talk',
           'new_item'            => 'New Talk',
           'view_item'           => 'View Talk',
           'search_items'        => 'Search Talks',
           'not_found'           => 'No Talks found',
           'not_found_in_trash'  => 'No Talks found in Trash',
         );
   
         $talks_args = array(
           'labels'             => $talks_labels,
           'public'             => true,
           'publicly_queryable' => true,
           'show_ui'            => true,
           'menu_position'      => 5,
           'rewrite'            => array( 'slug' => 'talks', 'with_front' => false ),
           'has_archive'        => 'talks',
         );
   
         $talks_cat_args = array(
           'hierarchical' => true,
           'labels' => array(
             'name' => __( 'Talk categories', 'jointstheme' ),
             'singular_name' => __( 'Talk category', 'jointstheme' ),
             'search_items' =>  __( 'Search talk categories', 'jointstheme' ),
             'all_items' => __( 'All talk categories', 'jointstheme' ),
             'parent_item' => __( 'Parent talk category', 'jointstheme' ),
             'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent talk category:', 'jointstheme' ),
             'edit_item' => __( 'Edit talk category', 'jointstheme' ),
             'update_item' => __( 'Update talk category', 'jointstheme' ),
             'add_new_item' => __( 'Add new talk category', 'jointstheme' ),
             'new_item_name' => __( 'New talk category name', 'jointstheme' )
           ),
           'show_admin_column' => true,
           'show_ui' => true,
           'query_var' => true,
           'rewrite' => array(
             'slug' => 'talks',
             'with_front' => false
           ),
         );
   
         register_post_type( 'uc_talks', $talks_args );
         register_taxonomy( 'uc_talks_cat', array('uc_talks'), $talks_cat_args );
       }
   
       add_action( 'init', 'uc_add_talks_post_type');
       ```
   
 * (I tried to use the proper terminology here, taxonomy vs. category, archive vs.
   listing etc. But feel free to correct that if I messed up).
