Not sure how clean or easy this is, but it seems to work. This code pretty much does the job for this question and another one about removing the parent category from the permalinks. Got it from a plugin that does this, and decided to just use the raw code. So the permalinks only have … Read more
After testing countless different structures i came up with this. It’s manual work specifying each category but gives me more control. If someone comes up with a better solution, please let me know. function mmp_rewrite_rules($rules) { //Product structure $newRules[‘product/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/?$’] = ‘index.php?products=$matches[4]’; //The above structure only works of the postname is the 5th uri segment //It’s … Read more
You can use rewrite arg in register_post_type. You can have custom post type name different then rewrite slug. For example here is the sample code with custom post type project and it shows pages with http://shaowtriger.com/brands/naim/ Notice rewrite in $args add_action( ‘init’, ‘codex_brand_init’ ); function codex_brand_init() { $labels = array( ‘name’ => _x( ‘Brands’, ‘post … Read more
I copied your code as-is above, pasted it into the twentysixteen theme, and changed just the post type rewrite slug from review/%brand% to %brand%. This resulted in both the term archive and review posts having your desired URL structure and successfully displaying. Now the bad news is that the rewrite rules generated for the taxonomy … Read more
WordPress’ URL routing is really difficult to work with. I’m looking forward to the day it’s replaced with something more rational (and I hope that I get to be the one to write the code to replace it, but I digress…) However I think your first problem is trying to do everything in .htaccess. I’ve … Read more
You can use the the_permalink filter to modify permalinks. Take a look at the function reference for the same. Code sample from the docs: Append the query string for the current page to permalink URLs function append_query_string($url) { return add_query_arg($_GET, $url); } add_filter(‘the_permalink’, ‘append_query_string’); More information on permalinks: Here (StackOverflow) Here (Elegant Themes) And here … Read more
For the SEO part you might get better answers on the Pro Webmasters Stack Exchange. I will focus on the performance. From your example I assume your permalink structure was %category%/%postname%/. Because of the way WordPress parses the incoming URL, this will result in verbose page rules, which means that each page (not post) you … Read more
You are asking a couple of things in one question. Before we sort things out, let’s get straight to the point: You are looking for the template_include hook. It is the hook, which is lastly called before the final output. In this phase, WordPress decides which template to pick. To achive your goal, you need … Read more
The registering of the custom post type and the permalink modification is OK. The problem is with the WordPress rewrite rules that more than likely will match the “cleaned up” URL of your simple links to pages and it will set the pagename query var not name as your change_slug_struct() function assumed. So change the … Read more
First thing to try is resave your permalinks from WordPress admin. And be sure your changes are saved to .htaccess. if WP warns you that .htaccess isn’t writable, manually use FTP to change the permissions of the .htaccess file to 644 and try again. The “.” in front of the file name means it’s a … Read more
