How can I customize the output and still keep the permalink editable?
The following worked for me:
$post_link = home_url( '/job/' . ( $leavename ? '%postname%' : $post->post_name ) . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" );
I.e. If the $leavename
is true
, use %postname%
in the URL. Otherwise, you may then use the actual post name/slug, i.e. the value of the $post->post_name
.
Additionally, I suggest you to use home_url()
than hard-coding the site URL into the permalink. 🙂
And I presume you will or have already setup the rewrite rules for the permalinks (/job/<post slug>/
in the above example)?
Even if I remove the custom permalink stuff and only have
return $post_link;
it still disables editing of the permalink.
I’m not getting that issue, so it’s probably a theme/plugin conflict on your site — try deactivating plugins and enable them back one at a time until you’ve found the culprit.
