rewrite rules for hierarchical custom posts seem wrong

[realblueorange]

I have a custom post that is non-hierarchical. It generates permalinks as expected:

mydomain.com/abcd/post-name

The corresponding rewrite rules seem correct as everything works just fine.

Part of the arguments that I am using for register_post_type:

'hierarchical' => false,
'supports' => array(
    'title',
    'editor',
    'revisions',
    'thumbnail',
    'page-attributes'
),
'rewrite' => array(
    'slug' => '/abcd',
    'with_front' => false,
    'feeds' => false,
    'pages'=> false
),

Setting 'hierarchical' to true and regenerating the rewrite rules results in permalinks as expected:

mydomain.com/abcd/post-name
mydomain.com/abcd/post-name/child-post

But: the rewrite rules that are generated do not work with this permalink structure.

I would expect that the rewrite rules that WordPress generates match the permalink structure that WordPress generates. Or is that too easy?

If needed I can provide the rewrite rules that are being generated in both cases.

Hi @realblueorange,

Thanks for this ticket! My apologies that it took so long to receive a response.

I have done some testing, and I am unable to reproduce the issue you are describing. If I switch your to hierarchical post type, flush rewrite rules, the post correctly shows at /abcd/parent-post/child-post.

I am going to close this out as worksforme, but if you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen with more details. What your permalink structure is in Settings > Permalinks would be helpful (I assumed and tested with /%postname%/ based on your description).
