So it turns out that when the CPT was registered, the following was used in the “rewrite” argument in register_post_type: rewrite => “recipes/%tax_rec_cat%” I don’t know the intention of this, I suppose whoever wrote it thought it was necessary to include both that and the custom_links function I posted in the original question in order … Read more
Try instead using the template_redirect hook. Here I have a blogpost on using that approach: http://www.tomjn.com/386/content-without-posts/ I’ve had no issues with the admin toolbar using this method. It includes a helper class: <?php /** * A helper class to implement arbitrary content at arbitrary URLs without a supporting post or page. * Inherit from this … Read more
Using add_rewrite_endpoint <?php if ( ! class_exists( ‘PDFRewriteEndpoint’ ) ): class PDFRewriteEndpoint { /** * Add actions and filters in constructor. */ public function __construct() { add_action( ‘parse_request’, array ( $this, ‘sniff_requests’ ), 0 ); add_action( ‘init’, array ( $this, ‘add_endpoint’ ), 0 ); } /** * Add rewrite rules. */ public function add_endpoint() { … Read more
The rewrite rule already exists to handle those requests, it’s for pagination of a single page post type. You can get the value of the page number with get_query_var(‘page’). You can render all pages with the same template by creating a page-{page-name}.php template file.
function checkArtist() { $page = get_page_by_path($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’].”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”,OBJECT,’artist’); if($page){ header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”); header(“Location: /artist”.$_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]); } } add_action( ‘wp’, ‘checkArtist’ ); I add a custom hook using wp which as the article says: This hook is one effective place to perform any high-level filtering or validation, following queries, but before WordPress does any routing, processing, or handling. … Read more
Your rerite rule is incorrect. It should be (assuming download is name or slug of the page): add_rewrite_rule(‘^download/([^/]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?pagename=download&file=$matches[1]’, ‘top’); Also, you need to declare the file query var. A sample and working code: function createRewriteRules() { add_rewrite_tag(‘%file%’, ‘([^&]+)’); add_rewrite_rule(‘^download/([^/]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?pagename=download&file=$matches[1]’, ‘top’); } add_action(‘init’, ‘createRewriteRules’); Note: Don’t forget to flush rewrite rules after adding new … Read more
You don’t really need to do anything (unless you have OCD about such things 😉 ) You are not going to redirect to such address and it will die with time, and even if not, the canonical meta in the header will help google to avoid marking it as duplicate content.
I would argue this is micro-optimisation and your efforts will be better spent elsewhere – an extra 80 rules is a blink in the total WordPress runtime (they’re just a foreach loop with a preg_match). You are much better off making sure that any custom database tables are designed effectively, your queries are efficient, and … Read more
As you don’t need the CPT archvie, the easiest way to use example.com/new-site to open a page, and example.com/new-site/post-slug to open single posts of “new-site” post type, is to declare has_archive => false when registering the CPT: add_action( ‘init’, ‘cyb_register_cpt’ ); function cyb_register_cpt() { $args = array( // ….. ‘has_archive’ => false ); register_post_type( ‘new-site’, … Read more
It’s an expensive operation, so rather than it happening automatically you have to run it somewhere when you know your rewrites have changed. There are also circumstances where WP may not know it needs to flush the rules: Deletion of a plugin that registers a CPT for example. In your own plugin, run it on … Read more
