    So I got closer to my final desired product by modifying my rewrite rules to the following:

    function vidrewrite_rules(){

	add_rewrite_rule(
		'^reviews/([-a-z0-9]+)?$',
		'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]',
		'top'
	);

	add_rewrite_rule(
		'^reviews/([-a-z0-9]+)/([-a-z0-9]+)?$',
		'index.php?category_name=$matches[2]',
		'top'
	);
}

    However, now in my loop when I’m retrieving the reviews programatically, the URL’s are not correct, they show as website.com/reviews/test-review instead of the full URL with the categories. Thus, clicking on them results in a 404.

    function genesis_page_archive_content() { ?>
	<ul>
		<?php wp_list_pages( 'post_type=review' ); ?>
	</ul>

<?php
}

    bcworkz, in my last attempt, I used the built in category taxanomy, and a created a parent and child category. I applied the child category to the review posot. I then wrote the following snippet of code:

    /**
 * Create custom permalink structure for 'Review' pages
 */
function review_rewrite_rules(){
	add_rewrite_tag(
		'%primary_category%',
		'([^&]+)'
	);

	add_rewrite_rule(
		'^reviews/([-a-z0-9]+)/([-a-z0-9]+)?$',
		'index.php?post_type=review&primary_category=$matches[1]&review=$matches[2]',
		'top'
	);

	add_rewrite_tag(
		'%secondary_category%',
		'([^&]+)'
	);

	add_rewrite_rule(
		'^reviews/([-a-z0-9]+)/([-a-z0-9]+)/([-a-z0-9]+)?$',
		'index.php?post_type=review&primary_category=$matches[1]&secondary_category=$matches[2]&review=$matches[3]',
		'top'
	);
}
// Register the permalink structure desired for 'Review' posts, with placeholders
add_action( 'init', 'review_rewrite_rules' );

    While this allowed me to navigate to the actual review page correctly (website.com/reviews/parent/child/actual-review), navigating to the category pages resulted in a 404 (website.com/reviews/parent or website.com/reviews/parent/child/). Any ideas on how I can get the the URLs to the categories to work, or is this not the best approach?

    Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for quick reply back. What I noticed in recreating your steps is that it works fine if only a parent category is selected. However, if a sub category (e.g. test -> testsub) is created and only the sub category is selected, neither link works (reviews/test/post/ nor /reviews/test/sub/post). If the sub category and parent category are selected, then only the top level permalink will work (reviews/test/post, not reviews/test/sub/post).

    Any idea on how to address this? In order for everything to work as intended, I really need the subcategory permalink to work, that was the point of the following snippet in my code:

    // get full category slug, including parent cat
		if ( $parent = $cateogryObject->parent ) {
			$category_link = get_category_parents($parent, false, '/', true) . $category_link;
		}

    I know this is doable, because I’m able to achieve it using the “Custom Post Type Permalinks” plugin by Toro_Unit, but I can’t rely on that plugin for this project.

    Eggheads, as stated originally, the rewrite rules had already been flushed prior to submitting the request for assistance.

    Ryan, did you verbatim copy my code for your test? I am still unable to get the CPT permalinks to function as intended.

    Thanks again for the input. I would love to switch software but I’m dealing with a huge forum integration/migration as part of a rebranding effort and have to stick with SMF. I’ve seen this done before so many times, surely someone must have an idea. I wonder if using dual subdirectories would work and just change wordpress site URL in the panel:

    Root:
    /wp/
    /forums/

    Thanks for the quick reply. They aren’t exactly in the same directories though. I meant that within the root are all the wp folders and files along with an additional folder that holds all of the forums files.

    Nadia,

    Thanks for the feedback. I tried the hta access suggestion with no luck. Do you know of any methods to change the URL structure without admin panel access?
