 * Hi all

 * I’m have difficulty getting my permalink/slug structure to get me to my actual
   post, keep getting 404’s.
 * this is my structure:
    ://WEBSITE/CUSTOM_POST_TYPE/CUSTOM_TAXONOMY/category/sub-
   category/post-title/ ‎
 * here is an example:
    [https://cambridgeclearbeauty.co.uk/plastic_surgery/face-surgery/rhinoplasty/before-and-after/nonononononon/](https://cambridgeclearbeauty.co.uk/plastic_surgery/face-surgery/rhinoplasty/before-and-after/nonononononon/) ‎
 * I set it up using these plugins:
 * CPT UI << to create the CPT and Custom Taxonomy
    Custom Post Type Permalinks 
   and this to set the permalinks
 * I just get 404s
 * I’m not sure where ive gone wrong.
 * any help would be awesome

 * That’s a tough one that I don’t have an answer for, really. It’s a lot of information
   being stored in a given URL, and if the permalinks are giving 404 messages, then
   WordPress isn’t managing to parse it out into what you’re intending.
 * Without being able to see the request being made, I’m assuming that it’s thinking
   the face-surgery and rhinoplasty and before-and-after portions are all child 
   posts in this post type, when they’re actually meant to be the custom taxonomy
   and i assume terms in the taxonomy. All mixed in with the post type and single
   post.

 * and I didn’t hit refresh…as it sounds and looks like you got something working
   for it. Better than I could do at this point 😀
 * Let us know if you need anything else.
