When WordPress inserts a post, it runs the title through a filter called sanitize_title to get the slug. By default there is a function called santize_title_with_dashes attached to this filter with priority 10. This function simply strips out the |. If it is surrounded by spaces those spaces will be converted to hyphens. So your … Read more
There is a simpler and lighter solution: First: set the slug argument for your custom post type to “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” when registering the post type: add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_my_post_type’ ); function register_my_post_type() { $args = array( //The rest of arguments you are currently using goes here ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ) ); register_post_type( ‘my-post-type’, $args … Read more
You may not like this answer, but it’s a quite simple, and probably most recommended. Don’t set these pages as child pages. There are numerous ways of getting pages to list out in a child-like order – WP Menus. Use that instead, and you will cause less stress on your WordPress installation – having to … Read more
Add your rewrite rules to top, not bottom. Every rule that matches will abort the process. So if there’s only a single match before, your rules will get skipped.
After some brainstorming and a lot of trial and error with T5 Rewrite and HM Rewrite, I went for the simplest possible solution. The permalink was actually intercepted by WordPress so I didn’t need the additional rewrite rule (even though it didn’t hurt, other than performance). I left %category%/%post_id%/%postname% as the default custom permalink, and … Read more
Edit: previous answer not working. Following solution does not provide sanitized nicknames, but should do the trick: $nn = urldecode($query_vars[‘author_name’] ); $author_id = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->usermeta} WHERE meta_key=’nickname’ AND meta_value = %s”, $nn ) );
I assume you have a custom taxonomy for your CPT, so your CPT should be ‘job’ and your custom taxonomy can then be ‘jobs’ and then you’d have custom terms within that taxonomy for each job type. The Posts then would consist of the individual job with any associated relevant data (rate of pay, hours, … Read more
Hi @Zach Shallbetter: If I understand your question, then you are looking to solve your problem using theming functions when you really need to use more of WordPress’ API. The following code can be copied to a test.php file and run using http://yoursite.com/test.php for you to see how it works (assuming you replace http://yoursite.com with … Read more
You have two avenues: Hardcode rewrite rules for those specific URLs Abandon your quest and design a new URL structure What your asking for cannot be automated efficiently because it would mean 2 rewrite rules that are the same, but are mapped on to different things. The result being that either the post type slug … Read more
WordPress runs slugs through its sanitize_title_with_dashes() filter function which replaces dots with dashes. Unfortunately the function doesn’t give you any control over that or any ability to change what characters are stripped or replaced. What we can do however is remove that filter and add our own version of it with a couple of modifications: … Read more
