I've created a custom post type: Recipes (slug: recipes). My WP Post permalink structure is: site.com/%category%/%postname%/
Is there any way to get something similar that includes the CPT name or slug in the permalink?
I looked at ticket you responded to by Nicholas but it was a bit off-point.

Whoops. I misstated the question. Is there any way to get the WP category which is also used by that CPT into the permalink in any position, beginning or end?

There's nothing built into Toolset that will achieve that kind of custom URL structure, unfortunately. Types custom post type URLs are based on the WordPress standard, which is /post-type-slug/post-slug/. You have the option of using a different static slug instead of the post type slug, but it's not dynamic or based on a category term. That structure would require custom code, or a third-party custom permalink plugin.
