Creating Sections for Post Types

Question

I'm trying to create this page structure within WordPress:

- Home                (http://example.com/)
- Blog                (http://example.com/blog/)
  - Blog Post         (http://example.com/blog/blog-post-name/)
- Projects            (http://example.com/projects/)
  - Projects Post     (http://example.com/projects/project-post-name/)

Following the WordPress Codex guide Making Your Blog Appear in a Non-Root Folder I'm able to create this structure:

- Home                (http://example.com/)
- Blog                (http://example.com/blog/)
  - Blog Post         (http://example.com/blog/blog-post-name/)

But not the "Projects" section. The Codex documents how to move where your blog sits, but not handle different post types in this way.

I'm trying to achieve "Blog" page as the index of all "Blog Post" posts, and "Projects" page the index of all "Project Post" posts.

Set your regular permalinks to

/blog/%postname%/

Register your custom post type with has_archive => TRUE and with_front => FALSE.

Example:

add_action ( 'init', 'register_project_cpt' );

function register_project_cpt()
{
    register_post_type(
        'projects',
        array (
            'has_archive'          => TRUE,
            'hierarchical'         => TRUE,
            'public'               => TRUE,
            'publicly_queryable'   => TRUE,
            'rewrite'              => array (
                'slug'       => _x( 'projects', 'slug', 'text_domain' ),
                'with_front' => FALSE
            ),
            'show_in_nav_menus'    => TRUE,
            'show_in_menu'         => TRUE,
            'show_in_admin_bar'    => TRUE,
            'show_ui'              => TRUE,
            'supports'             => array(
                'author',
                'comments',
                'editor',
                'excerpt',
                'page-attributes',
                'revisions',
                'thumbnail',
                'title',
            )
        )
    );
}

In wp-admin/options-reading.php choose a page for the blog post archives, that will be used on /blog/ then.
