[wp-hackers] Putting WordPress posts in different Permalink Structure, to Custom Post types

[John Blackbourn]

Hey Robert,

There is an optional argument in the 'rewrite' array called
'with_front'. Set this to false and the /news/ section won't be used
in your custom post type URLs.

There are a couple of other arguments too in the rewrite array that
you might be interested in. See
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#Arguments
(scroll down to the rewrite section).
