I have a custom post type functionality defined on my website for a certain action. In order to achieve a specific type of url structure. I removed the constant slug from it and replaced it with category and brand name.
The previous url was
www.website.com/product/name
The new url is
www.website.com/category/brand/name
You see, I have totally removed the slug. Here is the code for that. Now the issue is that these urls are not working and I am geting a 404 page in return. I have tried flushing the permailinks as well but it is not helping.
According to my understanding because of removing the slug, the query is searching in ‘Post’ not the ‘Custom Post Type’ but I don’t know how to correct it. You response will be highly appreciated.
