When you register your post type, add the subdirectory to the has_archive
argument, and as the slug
argument of the rewrite
argument:
$args = array(
// ... other args removed for clarity
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'subdirectory/custom-post-type' ),
'has_archive' => 'subdirectory/custom-post-type',
// ...
);
register_post_type( 'your_cpt', $args );
