Ok I managed to solve it.

It seemed the place I was added the rewrite rule kept getting removed. so I moved it to the INIT hook and all seems fine.

Also it seemed to be caching a lot of the pages so I cleared that also and is now fine.

I noticed it the rewrite was getting removed by installing the ‘Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer’ plugin which lists all of them.

I get the go daddy holding page come up.

Which normally means your domain hasn’t propagated / setup on their system yet

I don’t know the response theme, but do you need to set the homepage up in settings?

ie in the dashboard go to settings->reading and choose the static page you want your homepage to be

I think I’m almost there with this now.

I’ve managed to get the post_id into the url of the custom post types post.

ie mydomain.com/custom-post-type/post_id/post-name/

add_filter('post_type_link', 'my_post_type_link', 1, 3);
				function my_post_type_link( $post_link, $post = 0, $leavename = false ) {

					if ( strpos('%post_id%', $post_link) === 'false' ) {
						return $post_link;
					}
					if ( is_object($post) ) {
						$post_id = $post->ID;
					} else {
						$post_id = $post;
						$post = get_post($post_id);
					}
					if ( !is_object($post) || $post->post_type != 'features' ) {
						return $post_link;
					}

					//put post ID in place of %post_id%
					return str_replace('%post_id%', $post_id, $post_link);

				}

Then in the bit where I setup the post type, i add the following to the slug

'slug' => '/feature/%post_id%',

So all i need to do now I think is write a rewrite to remove the /feature part and it should work ‘hopefully’, but no luck with that yet

Ok I think I have solved it – if there is a better way let me know;

When registering the post-type i set ‘has_archives’ => true

then created the template archive-awards.php

Now I get the correct template being called for ‘/awards/’

ah ok, yer that sounds good.

however id want to manage all of them from domain a

so id log into domain a’s wp-admin, update and add bits and bobs, which appears on all the sites

great ill give those a shot thanks!
