So I'm trying to setup a website in Wordpress with the following permalink structure:
http://www.site.com/trades/trade-type
I would like trades to be an actual page, and I have created trade-type as a custom post type.
In my trade-type custom post type, I set the slug to be 'trades' to use that permalink as my base structure. So all posts I create under the custom post type should proceed the /trades URL.
When I set this slug, I am able to successfully save and view pages on the /trades/trade-type pages. But when I try to go to the /trades page, it craps out.
When I change the slug to 'trades2' in my custom post type, I am able to successfully view the /trades page, however all trade-types I create are now under trades2/trade-type.
There seems like there's some sort of conflict between the /trades page and the custom post type slug. Is there a way I can edit functions.php to accommodate both? Any help would be appreciated.
Below is my functions.php for the trades-type custom post type
//Register Custom Trades Post Type
function custom_trades() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Trades', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Trade', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Trades', 'text_domain' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Trade:', 'text_domain' ),

'not_found' => __( 'Not found', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
);
$rewrite = array(
'slug' => 'trades',
'with_front' => true,
'pages' => true,
'feeds' => true,
);
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'ds_trades', 'text_domain' ),
'description' => __( 'Post Type Description', 'text_domain' ),
'labels' => $labels,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes', ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'category' ),
'hierarchical' => true,

'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,

'has_archive' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'rewrite' => $rewrite,
'capability_type' => 'page',
);
register_post_type( 'ds_trades', $args );
}
// Hook into the 'init' action
add_action( 'init', 'custom_trades', 0 );
