# Nested permalink structure for ‘related’ post types

 * I have 3 post types
    (I created them with [CPTUI plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/)
   just so I didn’t need to type it out myself)
 * – course
    – unit – lesson
 * I ‘related them’ to each other with [ACF’s relation field](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/relationship/)
 * units belong_to courses
    lessons belong_to units
 * I’d love some permalinks like this
 * /course/course-name (got this already)
    /course-name/unit-name (don’t have this)/
   course-name/unit-name/lesson-name (don’t have this)
 * Does anyone have any experience with this? I’ve been working with the included
   permalink stuff – as well as the [custom-post-type-permalinks](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks)
 * There are a few threads at ACF [https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/permalink-structure-for-related-post-types/#post-88669](https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/permalink-structure-for-related-post-types/#post-88669)/
   but this isn’t really in the realm of either CPTUI or ACF – so, I ask here. :)

 * You might want to rethink using 3 post types.
    What if you use one post type 
   of lesson, and it has a hierarchical taxonomy for the course and unit?
