I have a custom post type called articoli-redazione. I would like to make archive url of this kind of post type to have a PAGE as parent as in this example:

https://mywebsite.it/page-name/custom-post-type-archive

The custom post type needs to be hierarchical.

Is that possible? Is there a way to have a custom rewrite?

Thank you!

Yes. First, unregister the post type. (None of the actual data will be deleted if you already have posts.) Then, re-register it with

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'page-name/custom-post-type-archive')

This will set your archive at the URL you're looking for, and all the individual CPT posts will be "under" that - i.e. '/page-name/custom-post-type-archive/single-title/'.

  • After experimenting some more, there is one drawback to this method. That is if you are using YOAST breadcrumbs, the breadcrumbs don't output correctly as they think the posts is at the root instead of under the page. Any tips to handle that?
