Steps
1. Open Categories
In wp-admin go to Auctions → Categories. Add or rename terms. A General category is created automatically when none exist.
2. Assign on listings
Choose a category on the auction edit screen in admin, or on seller submit/edit forms (Category field is always visible).
3. Set permalink bases
Go to Settings → Permalinks. Set Auction base (default auctions) and Auction category base (default auction-category), then Save.
4. Flush after upgrades
After installing or upgrading to 1.1.0+, Save Permalinks once (or visit any admin page once) so /auctions/… URLs resolve. SEO helpers register so Yoast-friendly singles prefer the CPT permalink.
