I am trying to:
Make permalinks for a custom post type that follow the format mydomain.com/%custom-taxonomy%/%post-name%

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
THe issue is not with that link itself, I understand that the %cat-lugares% doesn't get the right taxonomy slug, I could do that with a custom funtion on the function.php file.

The issue is with the rest of the website pages, Everytime I add the text %cat-lugares%,on the custom post type custom url format, all pages return a 404 error.

I expected to see:
I expect non of the pages get affected by this. At the end I am changin the custom post type format url only, not changing anything else. So I would understand the custom post type links not to work, but I don't understand why all the site breaks.

Instead, I got:
Instead all pages return a 404 error, even when I'm only edditing a custom post type url format.

So what would be helpful in my situation?

1. Point me in the right direction on how to imlement permmalinks that follow the structure: mydomain.com/%custom-taxonomy-slug%/%custom-post-type-slug%

2. Fix the error that the whole site breaks when adding %% to the format url on a custom post type settings.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - custom URL rewrite settings accept the string and prepend posts with that string.

Any customizations with URL using place-holders, you need to add rewrite rules and that needs custom programming.

Following are a few links, which may help you achieve this, please have a look:
