# Permalink for CPT

 * I noticed that the new CPT I created using your plugin does not follow the same
   permalink structure I have set in the admin settings for individual posts. I 
   am using `/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/`. However, that’s not what the
   new CPT is using. Here are examples:
   Post: [https://chuckpearson.blog/2024/05/29/wordpress-build-using-site-editor/](https://chuckpearson.blog/2024/05/29/wordpress-build-using-site-editor/)
 * CPT (named it Photos): [https://chuckpearson.blog/photos/whiteout/](https://chuckpearson.blog/photos/whiteout/)
 * I may have missed something. Is it possible to follow the same format or change
   the permalink structure so this would turn into something like `/2024/04/07/whiteout`
   instead? Curious, thanks.

 * I’m pretty sure that’s largely intentional by WordPress core, and not something
   at fault with CPTUI.
 * This URL post provides a pretty in depth tutorial about how to successfully add
   dates to the permalinks, but it’s definitely a bit code heavy. [https://blog.terresquall.com/2021/03/making-date-based-permalinks-for-custom-posts-in-wordpress/](https://blog.terresquall.com/2021/03/making-date-based-permalinks-for-custom-posts-in-wordpress/)
 * They also mention [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks/)
   if you want to not go the manual code route.
 * Based on this plugin’s short description: “And support `wp_get_archives( 'post_type
   =foo' )` and post type date archive (ex. `example.com/post_type_slug/date/2010/
   01/01` ).” That said, sadly it looks like they maintain zero presence in the 
   free support area.
