I'm trying to get permalinks working with custom taxonomies and custom post types. Following the instructions here I was able to get it almost working, but one small glitch.
The code to register the taxonomy looks like this:
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => false,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'products', 'hierarchical' => true, 'with_front' => true),
// 'rewrite' => true,
'query_var' => true
);
register_taxonomy( 'tc_product_type', array('tc_products'), $args );
The code to register the post type:
$post_type_args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'singular_label' => __('Product'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'publicly_queryable'=> true,
'query_var' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'products/%taxonomy_name%/'),
// 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'products', 'with_front' => false),
'supports' => $supports,
'menu_position' => 0,
'taxonomies' => array('post_tag')
);
register_post_type('tc_products',$post_type_args);
The permalinks themselves are created perfectly, and viewing the taxonomy pages works perfectly, but when viewing the post on the site, I get a 404. I dumped the WP_Query and it looks like it's using the last segment of the permalink URI as the tc_product_type, instead of the post slug (in the case the post slug is '77777-2'):

Am I missing something somewhere? How do I tell WP that the last segment is the page slug?
Edit: forgot something important. In the post linked to above, he creates the rewrite rules knowing that the page slug will always be at a particular segment in the permalink. This won't work in my case, as there will be posts under each taxonomy...meaning I won't know the exact position of the slug (except that it will be the end, of course). Is there a rewrite rule that would cover that scenario? How would it know whether the last segment is a taxonomy or post slug?
Edit 2: Adding a dump of the related rewrite rules:
array (
'products/%taxonomy_name%/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?post_type=tc_products&paged=$matches[1]',
/*...more rules, then...*/
'products/(.+?)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?tc_product_type=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/(.+?)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?tc_product_type=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?tc_product_type=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]',
'products/(.+?)/?$' => 'index.php?tc_product_type=$matches[1]',
/*...more rules, then...*/
'products/%taxonomy_name%/.+?/attachment/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/.+?/attachment/([^/]+)/trackback/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]&tb=1',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/.+?/attachment/([^/]+)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/.+?/attachment/([^/]+)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/.+?/attachment/([^/]+)/comment-page-([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?attachment=$matches[1]&cpage=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)/trackback/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&tb=1',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&feed=$matches[3]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&feed=$matches[3]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&paged=$matches[3]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)/comment-page-([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&cpage=$matches[3]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/(.+?)(/[0-9]+)?/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&tc_products=$matches[2]&page=$matches[3]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]',
'products/%taxonomy_name%/comment-page-([0-9]{1,})/?$' => 'index.php?%taxonomy_name%$matches[1]&cpage=$matches[2]',
/*...more rules...*/
)
It looks like it's matching this rule:
'products/(.+?)/?$' => 'index.php?tc_product_type=$matches[1]',
Not sure how to make it match the others, or if the others are even valid rewrite rules.
