Custom Wordpress URL

Question

Any ways I could show Custom Post Type's Content with such URL? E.g: (www.mydomain.com/view-promotion/christmas-promotion)

• view-promotion is page name
• christmas-promotion is the custom post type's post name

Currently this URL (www.mydomain.com/view-promotion/christmas-promotion) is automatically changed to (www.mydomain.com/promotion/christmas-promotion) where (promotion) is the post_type.

I am trying to have the view-promotion (Page Template) to show content by using custom post type name.

You can use a slug, when you are registering the post type with register_post_type(). You can add this argument like this

$labels = array(
    //... add the labels as you need
   )
);

$args = array(
    'labels'             => $labels,
    //add other options as you need
    'rewrite'           => array('slug' => 'view-promotion')
);

register_post_type( 'promotion', $args );

}

EDIT:

You need some other identifier to differentiate between the page and your custom post type. Otherwise Wordpress won't be able to know whether you mean the view-promotion page or the custom post type.

Even something like this will work

...
'rewrite' => 'view-promotion/a',
...
