The permalink loses it's structure. I figured out to fix this through the rewrite function, but this does not help me when trying to install breadcrumbs.
How can I have the single view of a post retain it's link to it's parent page?
I just logged on to post the same question here. I have spent a ton of time researching other sites and the official WordPress forums without any luck. This seems like a major problem with the usefulness of custom post types, there has to be a way to at least trick the built-in WordPress nav menus into thinking another page is the parent of the post type. Hopefully somebody can help figure this out!
For example, if I have an Article under a page called Resources:
http://www.econesthomes.com/our-resources/articles/
When I click to the single view of the article:
http://www.econesthomes.com/article/healthy-building/

There is, however, a plugin! I haven't tested it, but I think this answers your question?
