The code – add_action( ‘parse_request’, ‘my_cpt_parse_request’, 11, 2 ); function my_cpt_parse_request( $wp ) { if( isset($wp->request) && !is_admin() ) { $requests = explode(“https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”, $wp->request); $request_amount = count($requests); $post_name = array_shift( $requests ); // if an attachment has … Read more
