 * Dear all,
 * Firstly the custom post types work perfectly. Regular pages however only work
   when the permalink setting is /archive/%post_id%/ (‘archive’ can be replaced 
   with anything)
 * I solely wish to use /%post_id%, however, this results in a 404 error for **pages
   only**, custom post types are unaffected.
 * example:
    With permalinks set to /archive/%post_id%: [http://www.sitename.com/landing](http://www.sitename.com/landing)
   works perfect, along with the rest of the site
 * With permalinks set to /%post_id%:
    All pages, including [http://www.sitename.com/building](http://www.sitename.com/building)
   result in 404 error. Custom post types however (example url: [http://www.sitename.com/building/house/fifth_street](http://www.sitename.com/building/house/fifth_street)
   are unaffected.
 * I am using custom post types and custom taxonomies and I have a feeling this 
   may be affecting.
 * I would also like to use custom taxonomy terms in the rewrite rules.
 * Any solutions for either problems?
 * Thanks

 * Just /%postname%/ does not work in all installations, that page problem is exactly
   whey. Custom post types get a ‘label’ that is used in the permalink. I use /%
   post_id%/%postname%/ which results in /1/firstpost for normal posts and /blog/
   firstpost for custom post types.
    Perhaps this information is of some help.

 * Thanks for the reply Roy! Good to know its not just an isolated case.
 * I’ll go down your route and try and modify the permalink with some hooks/filters.

 * /%post_id%/%postname%/ results in 404. Any ideas what I can do?
