• I am having a similar problem to https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/custom-post-types-permalinks-404

    I have a custom post type called “video.” All was working fine with my custom post rewrites when I had it like this:

    In my theme’s functions.php register_post_type arguments I just had:

    ‘rewrite’ => true,

    and in my permalinks I had it set up as /0/%postname%/

    Everything was working fine with regular posts coming out like: sitename.com/0/post-name

    and videos coming out like sitename.com/0/video/post-name

    I was given a request by my supervisor to remove the “/0/” and the “/video/” from all URL’s so what I did was go back into my themes functions.php and replaced

    ‘rewrite’ => true, with

    ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ”, ‘with_front’ => true),

    and then in my permalinks I replaced “/0/%postname%/” with just “/%postname%/”.

    Now the regular posts are coming out as desired but the custom posts (videos) are all coming up 404.

    —————————————

    One other thing: If I just set the default in the permalink structure, the videos show up fine as:

    sitename.com/?video=post-name

    —————————————

    Here’s something else –

    If I change

    ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ”, ‘with_front’ => true), to

    ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ”, ‘with_front’ => false),

    and then in my permalinks I replaced “/%postname%/” with “/blog/%postname%/”

    Then the custom video posts show up

    as sitename.com/post-name (as desired)

    but the regular posts then become 404.

    Any thoughts out there on this puzzle?

  • i was also having trouble with the 404 error messages with the permalinks turned on, and i had been running in circles for the past several hours. the thing that finally fixed it for me was, when i registered my post type, i had hierarchical set to true … changing the line to
    ‘hierarchical’ => false,
    (and then visiting the permalinks page to flush the settings)
    fixed the problem for me. hope this helps someone

    Im having a similar problem but none of the solutions have fixed it. There are no clashes with any other objects but still the 404s. Man this should be simple and its just head banging stuff
