Slug showing in URL as well as correct category

    Hi Michael

    Were building a site using Elementor and CPT is a large part of the build.

    https://2020.food-mag.co.uk/recipes/recipe_category/baking/

    The current archive URL’s (above is an example) has recipe_category in the url yet the category is actually in the url as well, in this case baking.
    Why is the slug recipe_category showing in the URL?

    We’ve added the custom permalinks correctly in the settings /%recipe_category%/%postname%/%day%/%year%/ also the settings for the archive is has_archive: true / with_front: true

    Have you any idea why this is happening?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Is there any specific reasons you added the /%recipe_category%/ portion to the custom permalinks spot? Curious if you’d get exactly what you are wanting if you removed it, but first I’m curious if there was reason for adding.

    Hi @tw2113 thanks for getting back to me so quickly

    I thought i had to add the %"custom_taxonomy_slug"% to my CPT’s so it will add the correct category in the archive URL, if i take out /%recipe_category%/ (my custom category) no category gets added to the url of the CPT but /%recipe_category%/ still is shown in the archive page.

    hi @tw2113 i think that the custom taxonomy rewrite rules aren’t working.

    When i set rewrite to True and use a custom slug of recipe-cat the category gives a 404

    Hi @tw2113 sorry, but ive been on to support with YOAST SEO and they have traced the issue back to CPT, can you look into it please.

    Very sorry @saltmediadevon I somehow managed to miss your last two replies.

    That said, I also still don’t have an answer for how to solve this for you, and I really wish I did.

    If anything, I could try to review the CPTUI settings for your post types and taxonomies if you want to use the Tools section and paste me the big blobs of content on the right for both the post types and taxonomies tabs.

    Hi @tw2113 no worries, we stopped using your plugin as it just never worked for us, and are now using Permalinks Pro which has worked straight out the box. Thanks anyway
