 * Hello all,
 * I’m developing a custom theme for a client. Its essentially a portfolio site.
 * The URL structure is very important to this client. I’m using /%category%/%postname%/
   for Permalinks.
 * I’d really like to have a Custom Post Type for their Portfolio pieces – not a
   problem.
 * Essentially – what I want to have is: url.com/portfolio/sub-section/project-name
 * I’m having issues with this trying to use Custom Post Types. I end up with url.
   com/project-name — or url.com/portfolio/project-name. I can’t seem to get the/
   sub-section into the URL. Even if I allow ‘hierarchy” and “categories” and use/
   sub-section as the category.
 * I’d be fine with /portfolio being a “holder page” — and each /sub-section also
   being “holder pages” — but am not sure how to go about making that happen IE –
   telling the Custom Post Type to “reside” under certain pages.
 * Thanks in advance for any ideas,
    John
