Is the permalink structure /%post_id%/%postname% faster or slower than just /%postname%?
Note: we’re talking here about the difference between permalinks /%ID%/%name%/ and %/name/%. It would be a whole different story if we were to compare /%ID%/%name%/ and %/ID/%. Now, there are two use cases that affect performance: One. You have a permalink and WP needs to resolve it in order to serve the page requested. This … Read more
Custom Taxonomy in Permalink of Post
Assuming your custom taxonomy is called artist (and you don’t override the slug in the rewrite parameter) you can use the rewrite tag %artist%. WordPress implements almost every functionality to use those rewrite tags in post permalinks. There are only a few small adaptations necessary. Building the Permalink First, you’ll need to use the post_link … Read more
My permalinks are broken! Can I use mod_rewrite to ignore a physical file?
The reason that’s happening at all is because of content negotiation. /2011.html wouldn’t normally be accessible through /2011/, but content negotiation is making Apache automatically look for files named 2011 (whatever the extension) when it can’t find the folder before it passes control to WordPress. This can be quite useful, but if you don’t particularly … Read more
How would I create a different permalink structure for pages and posts?
The custom permalink field on the settings->permalink screen only applies to Posts. Not to Pages. WordPress Pages always live at the “top” of the URL tree. /about /whatever /etc. Posts live wherever the custom permalink string defines them to be. So, in your case, your permalinks custom structure would be “/news/%postname%/” and would not affect … Read more
Force WordPress to Show Pages Instead of Category
One possible solution is to not change the category base and leave as-is, but instead modify any output of a category link to strip the category base via a filter. This of course will result in a 404 if you haven’t created a page in place of where these links point, so creating a page … Read more
Custom Post Type Permalink Page Not Found
Every time while you create new post type with code (plugins do that automatically) you have to rebuild/update you permalink on Settings – Permalink.
Move WordPress to subdirectory, keep ALL URLs
The procedure is thoroughly documented in Codex under Moving a Root install to its own directory. You misunderstand the point about changing URLs in it, and yes the terminology sucks. The only URLs that will change are those that are based on the “WP address”. That would be WordPress core, essentially the admin area. All … Read more
Page begins with number, WordPress adds 2
Within the wp_unique_post_slug function, checks are made to “Prevent new post slugs that could result in URLs that conflict with date archives.” Here’s the relevant code from line 3812 from wp-includes/post.php // Prevent new post slugs that could result in URLs that conflict with date archives. $post = get_post( $post_ID ); $conflicts_with_date_archive = false; if … Read more
What is the difference between get_permalink vs get_the_permalink?
Nothing. get_permalink() is the original function, and is used to get the permalink URL for a post. get_the_permalink() was introduced in 3.9 simply so the permalink function was consistent with the other post-related template tags, such as get_the_title(), get_the_content(), which are all prefixed with get_the_. The equivalent functions for echoing the result of those functions … Read more
