Because your custom post_type is not a "post". That "default URL" is not "default" at all. It's the URL for single "posts" only. On a deeper level, it's not possible to use this structure because of how the rewrite system and the query work. The rewrite system needs to see the URL you're requesting and to determine two main things: the post_type and the post name. If both "post" and your "custom" post_types have the same URL structure, then there is no way for it to determine the post_type. Bottom line: Custom Post Types CANNOT use the same custom permalink string as posts do for their URLs. They MUST have some form of text prefix that distinguishes them in the URL. -Otto _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
