Wordpress custom post type rewrite url same as a current page

Question

I have created a custom taxonomy and post type.

I have a page using a custom template at 'support/links', which has some functionality including links to my custom post type.

Using:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'support/links')

does not work. I'm guessing because of a conflict with the page.

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'support/links2')

works fine. Any ideas how I can get this to work, or if there is a better way to approach this?

Answer 1

Every slug must be globally unique in WordPress across all taxonomies. The "links" slug already exists which is why it is not working for you while "links2" does. My suggestion would be to go with something that does not conflict such as "weblinks", "quicklinks", etc...

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'support/weblinks' )
