To get the current post type use get_post_type(). Then ask get_post_type_object() for all the data you need, for example the slug: $post_type = get_post_type(); if ( $post_type ) { $post_type_data = get_post_type_object( $post_type ); $post_type_slug = $post_type_data->rewrite[‘slug’]; echo $post_type_slug; }
This may be an old question, but all the answers here are incorrect. If the front page is set to a static page, and another page is set to the blog page, this will dynamically fetch and echo the URL for the blog archive page (i.e. blog index page)… <?php echo get_permalink( get_option( ‘page_for_posts’ ) … Read more
Yes, you can. All you need is make a filter for wp_get_archives(); so it accepts post_type parameter: function my_custom_post_type_archive_where($where,$args){ $post_type = isset($args[‘post_type’]) ? $args[‘post_type’] : ‘post’; $where = “WHERE post_type=”$post_type” AND post_status=”publish””; return $where; } then call this: add_filter( ‘getarchives_where’,’my_custom_post_type_archive_where’,10,2); Whenever you want to display archive by custom post type, just pass the post_type args: … Read more
The easiest way to do this is to use a hook (the pre_get_posts hook) to change the order. But you should check that the query is one for which you do want to alter the order! (is_archive() or is_post_type_archive() should be sufficient.) For instance, put the following in your theme’s functions.php… add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_change_sort_order’); function … Read more
I believe the best way to do this in a plugin is to run the following sample function when the pre_get_posts action hook is encountered. The $wp_query object is available, meaning your conditional tags are available, but before WordPress gets the posts, which means you are changing query vars prior to the first query being … Read more
You can extend the get_the_archive_title filter which I’ve mentioned in this answer add_filter(‘get_the_archive_title’, function ($title) { if (is_category()) { $title = single_cat_title(”, false); } elseif (is_tag()) { $title = single_tag_title(”, false); } elseif (is_author()) { $title=”<span class=”vcard”>” . get_the_author() . ‘</span>’; } elseif (is_tax()) { //for custom post types $title = sprintf(__(‘%1$s’), single_term_title(”, false)); } … Read more
