 * This is a long shot, but I ran into a bit of snag with permalink structures. 
   My initial goal was to have a posts page called News & Updates. I wanted my permalink
   structure for both categories and posts to match the posts page. So here’s what
   my permalinks look like…
 * Posts Page:
    [http://www.mysite.com/news/](http://www.mysite.com/news/)
 * Post Category:
    [http://www.mysite.com/news/category/](http://www.mysite.com/news/category/)
 * Single Post:
    [http://www.mysite.com/news/category/post](http://www.mysite.com/news/category/post)
 * To achieve this I used the Custom Permalinks options in Settings > Permalinks.
   The custom structure I used is
 * /news/%category%/%postname%/
 * It’s works great and serves it purpose. I was even able to get breadcrumbs to
   reflect my structure!
 * So the problem I’ve run into. I’m trying to create a custom post type for events.
   The only major issue is my events permalinks look like this…
 * [http://www.mysite.com/news/events/event-name](http://www.mysite.com/news/events/event-name)
 * Does anyone have an idea how I can get the permalink to read like the following
   while preserving the permalink structure for normal posts and categories?
 * [http://www.mysite.com/events/event-name](http://www.mysite.com/events/event-name)

 * set “rewrite” => array(“with_front” => false) in arguments of register_post_type.
 *     ```
       register_post_type(" post_type_name", array(
           "rewrite" => array( "with_front" => false)
       ));
       ```
