It does, but it is also not how post types work with WordPress. The parent/child hierarchy is only for post type posts within the same post type. Thus why you’re not able to select a page as a parent of say a “movie” post type post, and vice versa. The question comes up every so often for us, but I don’t know of any possible workaround or “hack” of sorts to allow it and have it work.
Thanks for getting back to me Michael that’s a great help.
Hi as a follow-up question. How do I make a page for the custom post-type parent? So the post type is called topless waitresses how do I make a page using that as the URL.
So I am trying to recreate/copy https://www.5starcruises.com.au/topless-waitresses/ in the custom post type. Then I will add the child of the area say Sydney then the girl’s name.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Danny
Normally I’d say make that slug a post in the post type, and then make any subsequent posts a child of that first post, but I’m also noticing a lack of post type slug in that desired URL. So half of me wants to say set up a redirect, the other half of me wants to say make use of tutorials available around removing post type slugs from the permalinks, at least for this specific post type.
