Tell us what you are trying to do?
We created a Resources custom post type within Toolset, and it has a custom taxonomy Resource Type. However the URL/permalink does not include the Resource Type even though the main site permalink settings have categories inserted in.

So what I need is for the link to look something like: mywebsite.com/resources/resource-type/name-of-resource

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I can't find any meaningful documentation that defines the all of the settings within Toolset. There are tutorials, but those don't help, and what documentation there are on settings just reiterate the setting labels, which doesn't help.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link is the live site, and I'm in the process of creating a dev site at hidden link

To be clear on the URL, "resources" would be static or the name of the custom post type and "resource-type" would be dynamic as the name of the custom post type taxonomy.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset offers limited feature to build such custom permalinks.

I suggest you should try any of the following plugin to build the permalinks as required:
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-permalinks/
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/
- https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-permalinks/

I'm confused then what the "Rewrite > Use a custom URL format" and "Allow permalinks to be prepended with front base" options are for then.

That option is used to add any static prefix.

For example, if you want to add prefix "mycategory" as prefix to the URL, once you add "mycategory" there, it will always add "mycategory" as prefix to all URLs.
