I have tried refreshing my permalinks but I still cant get this to work correctly.
I have the categories movies, gaming, blu-ray, and tv already created, so my URLs are site.com/movies/ for example. I would like for a post for movies to be at site.com/movies/post-here/ so for my custom post type my slug is `movies.
All my normal wordpress psots under the category movies are now 404ing while posts created specifically from the post type Movie Posts is working fine. Is this normal? Is there a step I’m not including?
Here are all my custom post types (Created with Custom Post Type UI):
//Movies Custom Post Type

Do you have a page that has the permalink /movies/ too? Because the duplicate of the permalink may be the cause of your 404 error.
