You shouldn’t rely on the global $post variable for filters like this. In your example you’re passing $event_city->ID to get_the_permalink(). This implies that the $event_city post is not for the same post as the current $post object. This is normal. Sometimes you want to use a function like get_the_title() or get_the_permalink() without changing the global … Read more
WordPress sites usually use body_class(), which adds CSS classes to the <body> tag. If you inspect the body element itself, most sites will show you something like <body class=”page-template page-template-tpl-events page-template-tpl-events-php page page-id-1168 page-parent page-child parent-pageid-378″> You can tell from these classes that this is a Page, using a Page Template, it is a Parent, … Read more
If an ID is passed to get_the_title() or get_permalink(), they will use get_post() internally to get a copy of the full post object with that ID. But if get_post() is passed either nothing or a “falsy” value, like 0, then it will return the current global $post object. In the context of your code this … Read more
What you need is get_permalink, e.g. $current_post_url = get_permalink(); You can either use it inside a post loop, or pass it a post ID as a parameter.
The problem, as I could see it, is not with the get_the_category() function. Instead, it’s the way you output the category archive link: href=”<?php echo $cd->slug ?>” — you should instead use get_category_link() to get the correct URL of the category archive page. Example: <a href=”<?php echo esc_url( get_category_link( $cd ) ); ?>”>
The process to do this isn’t probably as complex as you think. Leave the existing page exactly as-is. Don’t change its slug etc. Create a new page draft Create the new page content as you’d like it to have. Once the new page is complete, and ready to go, go back to the original page … Read more
Note that a filter callback must always return something which is commonly the first parameter passed to the callback. So for example your overwriteQueryVars() function, it must always return the $query because request is a filter hook. Secondly, instead of overwriting the entire query arguments (e.g. by doing $query = array( … ) or $query->query_vars … Read more
With the following as a permalink structure; /%category%/%postname/ The category slug is added to the URL. Subcategories, if any, appear as nested directories. So you end up with ; /category/your-post-slug/ And if subcategories are used /category/subcategory/your-post-slug
You can wrap the links in echo home_url($path) to have them printed relative to the site. So your link would be coded as: <a href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/3844/<?php echo home_url(“https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/services”)?>”>
In my eyes the plugin is pretty useless because of two reasons: You can setup the permalinks on your own by adding .html to it. There is no need for the plugin. As Shahas Katta commented, there is genereally no need to have .html at the end of URLs. As I don’t know your site … Read more
