WP is not really interested in what you add to the url string. But you could extract the url with native php functions and add your parts to the global wp_query; object using add_query_arg(). Then you can receive it via get_query_var() anywhere you need it. You could also use a hook to do the adding-job: … Read more
Milo’s comment about pre_get_posts helped solve this issue for me. In my case the parent theme used the pre_get_posts action to explicitly set the post_type for all author pages. It wasn’t in the functions.php, but I was able to find it by searching the theme for instances of pre_get_posts. (I used grep -R “pre_get_posts” . … Read more
Change Theme from Plugin based on query_vars
You could force the redirect this way by checking for the get_var query value: add_action(‘init’,’my_redirect_check’); function my_redirect_check() { if (isset($_GET[‘my_var’])) { if ($_GET[‘my_var’] != ”) { if ($_SERVER[“HTTPS”]) {$location = ‘https://’;} else {$location = ‘http://’;} $location .= $_SERVER[‘SERVER_NAME’]; $location .= strtok($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’],’?’); $location = trailingslashit($location); $location .= $_GET[‘my_var’]; $location = trailingslashit($location); wp_redirect($location); exit; } } } … Read more
Wow I feel like a huge newblet. This is incredibly simple. Just escape it with a \. “&feed=$matches[1]” should be “&feed=\$matches[1]”. EASY.
$wpdb->prepare() accepts a single array of arguments as the second parameter, e.g. $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT * FROM table WHERE field1 = %s AND field2 = %d AND field3 = %s”, array( ‘foo-bar’, 123, ‘[email protected]’ ) ) Therefore you can use an array of placeholders with the SQL command (the 1st parameter), like so: // Create an … Read more
You can create a posts archive by just setting post_type=post in your rewrite rule: function custom_archive_rule() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘custom-archive/?’, ‘index.php?post_type=post’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_archive_rule’ ); WordPress will identify this as is_home, so you’ll have to target it in pre_get_posts by the existence of your extra query variables. function custom_arcive_tax( $query ) { if … Read more
Wasn’t as hard as I thought. Here’s the working example, in case anyone finds it helpful: function em_query_vars($vars) { array_push($vars, ‘state’); array_push($vars, ‘city’); return $vars; } add_filter(‘query_vars’,’em_query_vars’); function em_rewrite() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘^state/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?’, ‘index.php?state=$matches[1]&city=$matches[2]’, ‘top’ ); add_rewrite_rule( ‘^state/([^/]*)/?’, ‘index.php?state=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); add_rewrite_tag(‘%state%’,'([^&]+)’); add_rewrite_tag(‘%city%’,'([^&]+)’); } add_action(‘init’, ’em_rewrite’); function em_templates($template) { global $wp_query; if (isset($wp_query->query_vars[‘state’]) && isset($wp_query->query_vars[‘city’])) { … Read more
I’m not sure how to explain this in more detail, or better than it is already explained in the codex, but here is a few notes IMHO, ‘query_var’ => true adds no proper value to your taxonomy or any other functionality relating to your taxonomy As I read the docs, setting query_var to true, it … Read more
Edited Jul, 07 2014 at 6:28 There are a lot of gotchas with your approach. It will not work if there are any custom rewrite rule, it (probably) will not work if server is IIS and pretty permalink are active, it will not work for custom post types, it will not work for archive or … Read more
