 * So I have my permalink set up as:
 * /%category%/%postname%/
 * which displays: site.com/category_name/post_name when I want:
    site.com/category/
   category_name/post_name
 * ideas?

 * > /category/%category%/%postname%/
 * then for category area it will be.
 * > category/category/%cat_name%/
 * also tags, author, archive (daily, monthly, etc).
 * works properly on posts and pages but above

 * this works except it breaks my custom post types.
 * So i have something like:
 * `/category/%category%/%postname%/`
 * but when it comes to custom post types I get
 * `/category/custom_post_type/post_name`
 * and it breaks only for custom post types. – ideas?
 * it, the custom post types, work if its /%category%/%postname%/ but then it fails
   at pagnation as I get a 404 on /category_name/post_name/page/2 but I don’t on/
   category/category_name/post_name….
 * if that made sense.
