    You can use the register_taxonomy function to register a custom taxonomy for your post type, and then use the rewrite parameter to set the desired permalink structure. Here’s an example:

    register_taxonomy(
    'custom_taxonomy', 
    'custom_post_type', 
    array(
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'label' => 'Custom Taxonomy',
        'query_var' => true,
        'rewrite' => array(
            'slug' => 'ca-en/%custom_taxonomy_parent%/%custom_taxonomy%',
            'with_front' => false
        )
    )
);

    In the above example, %custom_taxonomy_parent% and %custom_taxonomy% are placeholders that will be replaced with the actual parent and child categories when the permalink is generated. The with_front parameter is set to false to remove the front base of the URL.

    Additionally, you need to add filter post_type_link to modify the generated link.

    function custom_post_type_link( $post_link, $id = 0, $leavename ) {
    $post = get_post($id);
    if ( is_object( $post ) && $post->post_type == 'custom_post_type' ){
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'custom_taxonomy' );
        if( $terms ){
            return str_replace( '%custom_taxonomy%' , $terms[0]->slug , $post_link );
        }
    }
    return $post_link;
}

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'custom_post_type_link', 1, 3 );

    This is just an example, you may need to adjust the code to match your specific requirements.

    Thank you for your reply @faisalahammad, unfortunately I am doing something wrong but I cannot figure out where.

    Below is all my code for the CPT

    function brochure_post() {

    $labels = array(

        'name'               => _x( 'Brochure Product', 'post type general name' ),

        'singular_name'      => _x( 'Brochure Product', 'post type singular name' ),

        'add_new'            => _x( 'Add New', 'product' ),

        'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add New Brochure' ),

        'edit_item'          => __( 'Edit Brochure' ),

        'new_item'           => __( 'New Brochure' ),

        'all_items'          => __( 'All Brochures' ),

        'view_item'          => __( 'View Brochure' ),

        'search_items'       => __( 'Search Brochures' ),

        'not_found'          => __( 'No Brochure found' ),

        'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Brochure found in the Trash' ),

        'parent_item_colon'  => '',

        'menu_name'          => 'Brochures',

    );

    $args = array(

        'labels'        => $labels,

        'description'   => 'Holds Brochure and Brochure specific data',

        'public'        => true,

        'show_ui'       => true,

        'menu_position' => 5,

        'supports'      => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'category', 'tags', 'page-attributes' ),

        'has_archive'   => false,

        'taxonomies'    => array( 'category' ),

    );

    register_post_type( 'brochures', $args );

}

add_action( 'init', 'brochure_post', 0 );

register_taxonomy( 'custom_taxonomy', 'custom_post_type', array(

    'hierarchical' => true,

    'label' => 'Custom Taxonomy',

    'query_var' => true,

    'rewrite' => array(

        'slug' => '/%custom_taxonomy_parent%/%custom_taxonomy%',

        'with_front' => false,

    )

)

);

function custom_post_type_link( $post_link, $id = 0, $leavename ) {

$post = get_post($id);

if ( is_object( $post ) && $post->post_type == 'custom_post_type' ) {

    $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'custom_taxonomy' );

    if( $terms ) {

        return str_replace( '%custom_taxonomy%' , $terms[0]->slug , $post_link );

    }

}

return $post_link;

}

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'custom_post_type_link', 1, 3 );

    Problem solved!

    I used the below code to create a CPT and it has the ability to rewrite a part of the URL in the browser address bar, and depending on the categories used in the Dashboard will display in the address bar.

    function brochure_post() {

    $labels = array(

        'name'               => _x( 'Brochure Product', 'post type general name' ),

        'singular_name'      => _x( 'Brochure Product', 'post type singular name' ),

        'add_new'            => _x( 'Add New', 'product' ),

        'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add New Brochure' ),

        'edit_item'          => __( 'Edit Brochure' ),

        'new_item'           => __( 'New Brochure' ),

        'all_items'          => __( 'All Brochures' ),

        'view_item'          => __( 'View Brochure' ),

        'search_items'       => __( 'Search Brochures' ),

        'not_found'          => __( 'No Brochure found' ),

        'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Brochure found in the Trash' ),

        'parent_item_colon'  => '',

        'menu_name'          => 'Brochures',

    );

    $args = array(

        'labels'        => $labels,

        'description'   => 'Holds Brochure and Brochure specific data',

        'public'        => true,

        'show_ui'       => true,

        'menu_position' => 5,

        'supports'      => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'category', 'tags', 'page-attributes' ),

        'has_archive'   => false,

        'taxonomies'    => array( 'category' ),

        'rewrite'       => array( 'slug' => 'products/%category%', 'with_front' => false ),

    );

    register_post_type( 'brochures', $args );

}

add_action( 'init', 'brochure_post', 0 );

function brochure_permalink( $post_link, $id = 0 ){

    $post = get_post($id);  

        $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'category' );

        if( $terms ){

            return str_replace( '%category%' , $terms[0]->slug , $post_link );

    } else {

        return str_replace( '%category%/' , '' , $post_link );

}

    return $post_link;  

}

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'brochure_permalink', 1, 3 );
