 * hi,
    i introduced a new post type with ‘custom post types ui’ and used ‘custom
   post types permalinks’ Tod set the entry links to /events/%year%/%monthnum%/%
   postname%. This is working fine so far. If i browse to /events/2013/10 all events
   planned for october 2013 are listed. But if i browse to /events/2013/ all non
   custom post published in 2013 are listed. It seems that the post_type gets lost
   for wp_query.
 * i tried registering a rewrite rule like (‘events/([0-9]{4})/?$’,’index.php?post_type
   =events&year=$matches[1]’). but this doesn’t help.
 * any proposals?
 * regards,
    Robert

 * Did you re-save your already in use permalink setting(s) after creating the new
   post type?
 * Oh, and is there a closing / at the end of your custom permalink setting?
 * Does the query output change if the year does not have the last / ??

 * yes I re-saved the permalink settings. I also activated the $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
   within my rewrite function. After I’ve done this, /events/2013/10 and /events/
   2013/ works but I got a 404 for /events/2013/10/entry1. When I re-saved the permalink
   settings, where the ‘custom post types permalinks’ plugin allows me to set the
   permalink for events to events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/, the entry the monthly
   list is working but not for the year.
 *     ```
       function my_rewrite() {
           global $wp_rewrite;
       	// $wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('events', '/events/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/', False, 1);
       	add_rewrite_rule('events/([0-9]{4})/?$', 'index.php?post_type=events&year=$matches[1]', 'top');
           add_rewrite_rule('events/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$', 'index.php?post_type=events&year=$matches[1]&monthnum=$matches[2]', 'top');
   
           // $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); // !!!
       }
       ```
   
 * maybe I should disable the plugin and set all permalinks and rewrites manually?
 * And yes there is a closing / at the end. But it doesn’t matter if I browse with
   or without /.
