I have 4 Custom Post Types:
Services FAQs Prices Before and After
I want to be able to have the same post names within each of these post types, example:
Services
Skin (example.com/Services/skin)
Cream (example.com/Services/cream)
Body (example.com/Services/body)FAQs
Skin (example.com/FAQs/skin)
Cream (example.com/FAQs/cream)
Body (example.com/FAQs/body)Prices
Skin (example.com/Prices/skin)
Cream (example.com/Prices/cream)
Body (example.com/Prices/body)Before and After
Skin (example.com/before-and-after/skin)
Cream (example.com/before-and-after/cream)
Body (example.com/before-and-after/body)
How can I do this? Right now if I make a new post with the same name as a current one, it adds a "-2" or "-3" to the end of the posts slug:
BAD:
example.com/services/body
example.com/faqs/body-2
example.com/prices/body-3
example.com/before-and-after/body-4
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I wrote a function that can be added to your theme's functions.php file that includes the patch written by mboynes in this ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18962#comment:14
