We'll create fresh WordPress site with WP Permastructure installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
In addition to controlling your custom post type permalinks this plugin adds support for using custom taxonomies in your permalink structures as well.
Not only that but you can control the full permalink so the post type slug is not required at the start of the link.

There are 2 ways to use this plugin:

The plugin adds fields to the permalinks settings page for any public facing custom post types.
In Code
When registering a post type you can add a value to the rewrite property with the key ‘permastruct’ to define your default permalink structure.
eg:
<?php
register_post_type( 'my_type', array(
...
'rewrite' => array(
'permastruct' => '/%custom_taxonomy_name%/%author%/%postname%/'
),
...
) );
?>
