[Solved] Custom Post Type with same slug as Page?

[Hayley]

Hi all! I just started using Custom Post Types, and I can’t seem to find any info on this situation:

I have two custom post types in WordPress – ‘trapping’ and ‘taxidermy’.

I also have two pages by the same names, plus their sub-pages. These page urls will no longer work.

Is there any way to get around this? I really need them to be the same names. I’m pretty much stumped :-(

Hmmmm… Off the top of my head, you’ll need to name one of them differently. That’s like having a category and a page with the same name, you’d have to give a different name to one of them.

Hey, I figured out how to do it via these comments on Justin Tadlock’s Blog

Basically, I created post type ‘trapping’, made a page called ‘trapping’ and set it to default template, 3) created a page-trapping.php file in which I loop through all the trapping post types.

Here’s the site I’m working on: http://test.deercreekplans.com
