Why doesn’t it work? I’m not sure. That particular pattern is the same as a parent/child page request, WordPress has to do some extra queries to determine if a post exists by that name, or if it’s a page. Why this breaks when you add an endpoint, I haven’t delved into the code to determine. … Read more
Yes, you should flush rewrite rules in this case, because you add rules for every author based on his nicename. To be more precise, you should flush them after any author changes his nicename also. And you do this using author_rewrite_rules hook, which is fired in wp_rewrite_rules() only when there are no rules in database. … Read more
The reason you are getting a 404 is that the rewrite rule do not change the request URL as reported sin $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] variable of PHP, and wordpress parses that variable when deciding what content is request and since there is no such page /cdl-manual/arizona/ it displays a 404. What you need is a wordpress rewrite … Read more
All you need is flush the rewrite rules on deactivation. For example, in the main plugin file: register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, function() { flush_rewrite_rules(); });
You should be able to use category_name=$matches[1] instead of cat=$matches[1] Generally speaking, you can use any built-in public query variable and custom ones, after some additional work, see the add_rewrite_rule() codex entry for more information.
“movie-special-features” is longer than 20 chars. If you enable debug, you will get a message, these names are not allowed longer than 20 cars. Reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type You can enable the debug mode in you wp-config.php with define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true ); Reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG
The post type query var is the same as the post type slug by default. Untested, but this should work- function custom_rewrite_basic() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘^books/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?’, ‘index.php?books=$matches[1]&chapter=$matches[2]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action(‘init’, ‘custom_rewrite_basic’); $matches[3] will contain the chapter slug, but if you don’t need that to retrieve the chapter, then you don’t have to set it. Rewrite … Read more
I think you are using endpoints incorrectly. When a endopoint is created, a new rewrite rule is created using a query var with the same name of the endpoint; its value is taken from the string that follows the endpoint definition. So, if you register “my-endpoint” and build this URL: /page-slug/my-endpoint/123/some-string The endpoint is passed … Read more
To handle the extra URL segment you need to add another rewrite rule similar to the one generated by add_permastruct, but with an extra capture group and slash for the additional level of terms: add_rewrite_rule( ‘book/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)-blah-blah-blah?(:/([0-9]+))?/?$’, ‘index.php?post_type=book&name=$matches[3]’, ‘top’ ); Also, as I mentioned in my comment, the query var and slug author are already in … Read more
Do you have mod_rewrite enabled? This sort of thing tends to happen when it’s not. At which point, you only have access to ugly permalinks (?p=N) or “almost pretty” permalinks (/index.php/slug). The latter uses pathinfo to get you the page you’re requesting instead. So I’d suggest double checking whether mod_rewrite is installed and enabled. If … Read more
