I have created a custom post type as seen below,
function transactions_register() {
$args = array(
'label' => __('Transactions'),
'singular_label' => __('Transaction'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => array("slug" => "transaction"),
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
);
register_post_type( 'transaction' , $args );
}
I have set my permalinks to be like this /%category/%postname however when I navigate to a transaction, the URL looks like this,
However this returns the following server error
The page cannot be found
How can I make it so my custom post type will work with my permalink setting?
Whenever you add custom post type, just go to Settings -> Permalinks and click on “Save” or was it “Update”. It does the magic.
Every time you create custom post type or custom taxonomy you have to goto Settings -> Permalinks and hit save. its wordpress known bug.
