[wp-hackers] CPT and Taxonomy (on Otto's advice)

[Diana K. C]

Thanks Otto,

That's a valuable tip, once and a while I stuck on this concept.

I'm using parent/child cpt for same name pages, is that wrong? I found out 
that links stay clear though backend can get crowded.

Example:

[-] 2010 Conference
    - Overview
    - Atendees

[-] 2011 Conference
    - Overview
    - Atendees
    - Special events
