I’m building a site but can’t figure out how to change the permalink structure for my custom post type only!
I have a custom post type called "Products" at the moment which has a URL structure like this
/products/continental-rack/
The full code for my custom post type is below:
function cpt_products() {
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Products',
'singular_name' => 'Product',
'menu_name' => 'Products',
'name_admin_bar' => 'Product',
'add_new' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Product',
'new_item' => 'New Product',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Product',
'view_item' => 'View Product',
'all_items' => 'All Products',
'search_items' => 'Search Products',
'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent Product',
'not_found' => 'No Products Found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Products Found in Trash'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-tag',
'capability_type' => 'post',
'taxonomies' => array( 'category' ),
'hierarchical' => false,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'author', 'thumbnail' ),
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'products' ),
'query_var' => true
);
register_post_type( 'products', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cpt_products' );
I have enabled the category section on the right side so I can select a category but I cannot get that category to appear within the permalink structure when one is checked.
So the permalink structure I’m aiming for is essentially this:
/%category-name%/products/continental-rack/
Just can’t find a way to do it. Any help would be appreciated!

Go to settings -> permalink scroll down to Product permalinks and select Common Settings and add this in Custom Structure /%taxonomyname%/posttypename/
You can add filter to
post_type_link
