I have looked around noth in StackOverflow and WP.SE.
Like many before me, I just want this structure
mysite.com/custom-post-type/custom-taxonomy-term/post-name
Or, in other words,
mysite.com/publication/book/post-name (single post)
mysite.com/publication/book/ (all posts in the term 'book')
mysite.com/publication/ (all posts in this publication CPT)
I followed this instruction by TheDeadMedic for making custom post type with custom taxonomy permalink, and another one by Matthew Boynes to fix the pagination issue.
All works well, except... everytime I open the single post, it returns the 404 page.
I have tried opening the Permalink page and setting flush_rewrite_rules() to no avail. I still can't open the single page.
The only fix that works is if I change the slug in my custom taxonomy to its original form.
So instead of publication (the rewrite slug for this tax, in accordance to my custom post type name), I would have the default type (the default slug for this tax). Which would defeat the purpose.
Here is my code.
Taxonomy.
function cptui_register_my_taxes_type() {
/**

}
Is there a way to fix this?
