I have PERMALINKS setup with %category%/%postname%
for wordpress defaults (which is fine, just the way I want it).

I created a custom post type called: Newsletters
I created three categories for this custom post type:
Newsletters
- Business Articles
- Technical Articles

I want the URL to show:
/newsletters/%year%/%month%/%day%/%postname%/

where newsletters is the root slug
%year% = year of post
%month% = month of post
%day% = day of post

Why? Because we plan on publishing monthly newsletters, and I don't want to create categories for each Year/Month/Day of the publication.

Any help you can provide would be of great assistance.

Thank you

Hi Dan,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I believe this would need to be done using some amount of custom code to achieve.

Have a look at the link below.
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/94817/add-category-base-to-url-in-custom-post-type-taxonomy/188834

Its because you need to setup a custom rewrite rule in php in order to do this.

Take a look at this too.
