You won’t get a 404 because WP can find the page, and it then delegates the request to the template file where you added your own logic. You could build your own 404 handling in that file, but a better way is to use a the archive.php (or archive-post.php for just this post type) to … Read more
this is quite a common issue with htaccess file blocking malformed un-shlashed url such as cf7 wp-json requests. Therefore check your .htaccess file in your root folder to see if this is the case with your server too, find the section in your .htaccess that is adding a “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” at the end of requests # … Read more
Got to the bottom of this. How to create a permalink structure with custom taxonomies and custom post types like base-name/parent-tax/child-tax/custom-post-type-name I started from scratch with a whole new content type and the first answer in the solution above worked for me. I still had a few duplicate url issues from trying to resolve the … Read more
I have seen the magic “.” break a lot of sites paginations and do errors to such issues as yours (return status 404 for subcategories). Try installing a plugin named “WP No category base” (link below) and remove that dot from the category base. Save permalinks a few times after installing plugin and hope that … Read more
To determine if there is something wrong with your server settings or with your theme, you can write a very simple theme that will display different results for the custom post type. I just tried that with the following theme: style.css /** * Theme Name: WPSE */ functions.php <?php function wpse_init() { register_post_type( ‘wpse’, array( … Read more
// Missing product redirect to product category add_filter( ‘rewrite_rules_array’, function( $rules ) { $new_rules = array( ‘shop/([^/]*?)/page/([0-9]{1,})/?$’ => ‘index.php?product_cat=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]’, ‘shop/([^/]*?)/?$’ => ‘index.php?product_cat=$matches[1]’, ); return $new_rules + $rules; } );
Yes, it’s normal behavior. WordPress uses a set of rewrite rules to process requests. Here are the rules that will match requests related to categories: [category/(.+?)/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$] => index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2] [category/(.+?)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$] => index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&feed=$matches[2] [category/(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$] => index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2] [category/(.+?)/?$] => index.php?category_name=$matches[1] As you can see, all of them require, that the request is longer than /category/. And it makes … Read more
Answering my own question… I figured it would be something simple. I had assumed that the videos I was trying to embed had ‘allow embedding’ activated. They didn’t. When you edit the video in Youtube Studio, go to the “Advanced” tag and click “Allow Embedding”. It’s the only way a Youtube video will show in … Read more
<?php header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”); header(“Location: https://{$_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’]}/subcategory{$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]}”); exit(); ?> The above code was added directly to themes 404.php and everything worked as expected
There is is_404(). I normally use it to do just the opposite, to add CSS and JS animations which are specific to the 404 error page. In your case that would be: function wpse_339946() { if ( ! is_404() ) { wp_enqueue_script( ‘tracking-js’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/js/tracking.js’ ); } } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wpse_339946’ );
