It is not impossible, but you need to be very careful to prevent conflicts. You can use my Rewrite analyzer plugin to look at your current rules. The structure you propose, where the custom post type is stored in the URL hash (the part after the #), will not work because this part is not … Read more
take a look at Change the Author Slug from Username to Nickname more specifically at Jan’s answer.
wp_insert_post() function in WP accepts special import_id field in arguments and will try to use that ID, rather than automatically generating new one. This is easy to use when writing import code yourself, but I have no idea how easy would it be to with that plugin. You could try suggesting this as a feature … Read more
I had the same problem. It sounds like you don’t have rewrites turned on in your installation. Find your httpd.conf file, find the following line: #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so And remove the # at the beginning so it looks like this: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Save and then restart the service. Custom Permalinks should now work. There … Read more
You could do something like (in your functions.php file); if(current_user_can(‘member’)){ add_filter(‘get_sample_permalink_html’, ‘perm’, ”,4); function perm($return, $id, $new_title, $new_slug){ $post = get_post( $id ); if( ! $post || ( $post->post_type !== ‘testimonials’ ) ) { return $return; } return preg_replace( ‘/<span id=”edit-slug-buttons”>.*<\/span>|<span id=\’view-post-btn\’>.*<\/span>/i’, ”, $return ); } To give credit where credit is due, everything between … Read more
You should be able to get the current url from $url = add_query_arg(). Then assuming, the structure: www.example.com/page/subpage/news/ID/post you can use preg_match to extract /page/subpage/news. Then it would be simple matter of using get_page_by_path();. If that fails you can then check /page/subpage/ and finally /page.
Check to make sure your .htaccess file (in the root) is writable by WordPress, if it isn’t then you may need to manually set this up to get the permalinks working correctly.
I think the simplest way would be to just use the category archives that WordPress already generates. Change the category base in permalink settings to issues so you have nice URLs, then in the category template, check if you’re viewing a top level or child category, and display the appropriate markup: $this_category = get_queried_object(); // … Read more
$page->post_parent is the ID of the parent page. So get_permalink( $page->post_parent ); … should do it.
WordPress uses set of regular expressions to parse urls (so called rewrite rules). It matches them in some order and stops when first matching rule is found. It’s a little bit hard to say what rule is matched in your case. We don’t know what are your permalink settings and what other changes to rewrite … Read more
