You’re correct that the issue is caused by the fact that the rewrite rule is set to include the %tax-name% placeholder even when a taxonomy is not set for the post. One way to dynamically set the rewrite rule based on whether a taxonomy is set or not is to use the post_type_link filter. This … Read more
As I said, the permalink changes from YEAR_NAME to 2023, but the link gets 404 error Yes, and it’s because the post slug no longer matched the value in the database (in the wp_posts table, column post_name), hence the permalink URL became invalid and WordPress displayed a 404 error page. So you need to add … Read more
Change default URL (or permalinks) in the back-end

I think a better approach for this would be to create a single nested (hierarchical) custom post type. For example, it can be series. Then a single series named sample-series as a top level post of series post type: site.com/series/sample-series/. Then seasons named season-one, season-two etc. can be children of sample-series, like: site.com/series/sample-series/season-one, site.com/series/sample-series/season-two. Similarly, … Read more
WordPress keeps track of post slug change with wp_check_for_changed_slugs() function. The old slugs are saved in wp_postmeta table with _wp_old_slug meta_key and later redirects to current URL with wp_old_slug_redirect() function.

you can use the post_type_link hook. and then add a custom rewrite rule to your register_post_type function: function replace_post_link( $post_link, $id = 0 ){ $post = get_post($id); $post_type = get_post_type( $id ); if( is_object( $post ) && $post_type == ‘events’ ){ $custom_date = get_field(‘YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD’); return str_replace( ‘%custom_date%’ , $custom_date, $post_link ); } return $post_link; } … Read more
You can set this in your WordPress settings. Go to your Permalinks settings (WP Admin → Settings → Permalinks) and select ‘Custom Structure’. It should display your current structure in the text box next to it. Now, add /blogs in front of what is in the text box. And then Save. See screenshot for reference
