URL of Art Custom Post Types in Wordpress

Hi all,

So i've set up the Art Custom Post Type and Advanced Custom fields which seems to work correctly.

There is a problem however.

I'm not sure how to link it to the Main Menu in the 2013 child theme. So I can only get to the page from the Admin area. Here's link to the page.

Now, what I'd rather have is for it to say example-1 in the link so if I was to create the other 3 Art pages, they'd link together properly. But instead i saw somethink like this happening.

This would get a 404 I'd imagine it does this because they still exist somewhere on the server but I can't find where to delete them. How can I reset things to start again?

Have you tryed to change your permalink to default and save it, then change it back to post name and save it again? This will reset these kind of problems most of the time. Let me know if it worked or not:)

Turns out what was causing all of this was not deleting pages and posts and fields from the bin, so links were automatically redirecting. Page is much better now, thank you. :-)
