I have setup a custom post type with the slug "interview" and it is working fine. I am trying to change the slug to "magazine/interview" but I keep getting 404 errors when I try to access the posts that are already there. Is there any specific trick to set a slug with "/" characters in it?

how are you registering your post type? have you tried visiting the permalinks settings page in admin to flush the rewrite rules? – Milo Jan 14 at 20:16
Oh shit! I can't believe that was the issue!! I thought I was missing something much more advanced. Thanks a lot Milo – tzam Jan 14 at 20:26

Make sure to flush rewrite rules after changing the permalink structure, this can be done by visiting the Settings > Permalinks page in admin.

I don't think there is any way to use "/" in slug. I have Another solution for you. Create custom post type with slug "magazine" and create category "interview" now you have desired url "magazine/interview".

you absolutely can have a / in the slug – Milo Jan 14 at 20:27
Milos is right. It worked fine after flushing the permalinks by re-saving the permalink settings. – tzam Jan 14 at 20:29
