Dynamic WordPress rewrite rules for multiple custom post types

by

Jacob’s comment got me on the right track. Here’s what worked for my issue: add_action(‘init’, ‘cpt_rewrite’); function cpt_rewrite(){ $args = array( ‘public’ => true, ‘_builtin’ => false, ); $post_types = get_post_types( $args ); if ( $post_types ) { foreach ( $post_types as $post_type ) { add_rewrite_rule(‘^’.$post_type.’/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?’,’index.php?post_type=”.$post_type.”&year=$matches[1]&monthnum=$matches[2]’,’top’); add_rewrite_rule(‘^’.$post_type.’/([0-9]{4})/?’,’index.php?post_type=”.$post_type.”&year=$matches[1]’,’top’); } } } I used get_post_types() to get … Read more

wordpress category rewrite rule with pagination

I was able to solve it doing these rewrites in the following order. So I specified 3 category url in the beginning then 2 category url below that and in the and single category url /combine/brand/category1/category2/page/1-9/ add_rewrite_rule( ‘^combine/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/page/([0-9]*)$/’,’index.php?category_name=$matches[1]+$matches[2]+$matches[3]&paged=$matches[4]’, ‘top’ ); /combine/brand/category1/page/1-9 add_rewrite_rule( ‘^combine/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/page/([0-9]*)$’,’index.php?category_name=$matches[1]+$matches[2]&paged=$matches[3]’, ‘top’ ); /combine/brand/category1/ add_rewrite_rule( ‘^combine/([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?’,’index.php?category_name=$matches[1]+$matches[2]+$matches[3]’, ‘top’ );

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
