# custom content type date permalink

 * I need to show all posts for a given custom post/content type for a given month.
   I would like to set up a permalink structure for this as well.
 * ex.
    recipes/2011/6
 * This url would lead the user to a page with all of the recipe posts for June 
   2011.
 * Currently, WordPress correctly lists all recipes for the /recipes url but shows
   404 when I append a date to the url.
 * I set up a template, loop-archive-recipes.php to display the archive of recipes.
   Do I need to modify this template to support date based archive for the custom
   content type?

 * I am not sure about the last but just wanted to make sure you knew permalinks
   starting with a category don’t work very well.

 * I am not using categories in permalinks.
 * This has to do with custom content type named “recipes” and narrowing results
   to those recipes posted by year and day.
 * Does anyone have information on how to do this?
