CPT Page Slug Conflict WordPress
We have a custom post type named "intelligence" and a page called "intelligence" that houses the CPT data. We also have a category called Intelligence with sub-categories for each actual page.
We need the final URL's to be /intelligence/sub-cat/post-name
But it errors because of conflict, if we change the CPT name to "intel" it works fine with the path /intel/post-name.
I can show examples but prefer not to post the links here.

That's the best solution - changing the slug of the CPT to something other than the page name.. Or change the page slug to something else.
Theres no way around it unfortunately.
John Cotton answers:
It conflicts because WordPress uses regular expressions to determine which page the visitor wants to see. Your page/category/CPT names create ambiguous rules.
You could handle the redirects yourself if you really, really wanted to, but the code would be messy and what's the point in having a dog if you bark yourself?
Go with the solution you have (ie find an alternative slug for your CPT).

As per my experience same page name with the register CPT won't work. Something is weird I could never understand. So better as Michel said change CPT slug with something else of I usually change page name with plural. In your case intelligences or something similar.
<blockquote>Do not forget to flush permalink whenever you change slug or page permalink otherwise it will gives you error.</blockquote>

Hey overhaul, what, specifically, are you wanting the URL to be? http://www.mywebsite.com/intelligence/intelligence/intelligence?
Overhaul Media comments:
http://website.com/intelligence/sub-category/post-name
We need a page for "intelligence" and then sub category pages along with the singles

Have you tried this plugin? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-permalinks/
Overhaul Media comments:
I did.. I don't really know how it will help.
I think it's something to do with the post types being pages and having a parent page the same as their CPT name?
Not too sure.
