In wp_unique_term_slug(): The $slug has to be unique global to every taxonomy, meaning that one taxonomy term can’t have a matching slug with another taxonomy term. Each slug has to be globally unique for every taxonomy. In wp_unique_post_slug(): @param string $post_status no uniqueness checks are made if the post is still draft or pending […] … Read more
This (in your functions.php) will turn it off (but see also the comment I’ve left): remove_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘wp_old_slug_redirect’); It seems odd that your wp_postmeta table wouldn’t have any _wp_old_slug keys – the bit of code that does that is in wp-includes/query.php (wp_old_slug_redirect()) – you could add an exit or debug statement there to check if it’s … Read more
get_post_type_object() will return, as the name suggests, an object that contains the post type information. You may want to var_dump() it to inspect it contents. You’ll see that it includes (among other stuff) another object, labels that contains all the registered labels for the specific post type. $pt = get_post_type_object( ‘books’ ); // These two … Read more

I may be missing some vital detail in the question but here’s what I did to make this work. Settings -> Permalinks Set the permalinks to… /somePrefix/%category%/%postname%/ This will give you the following permalinks… Blog Page – domain.com/somePrefix Category Page – domain.com/somePrefix/currCategory/ Single Page – domain.com/somePrefix/currCategory/singlePost/ If you install some kind of plugin like Yoast … Read more
Yes, you can. In the old days, this was not possible (as evident from other answers). However, it’s possible now. WordPress now lets child pages (of any post type that is hierarchical) from different parents to have the same slug / name. This is possible because now WordPress considers the entire hierarchical tree (parent-child combination) … Read more
use pagename= to query by slug. See WP_Query for full list of valid arguments.
The easiest workaround could be: function myplugin_update_slug( $data, $postarr ) { if ( ! in_array( $data[‘post_status’], array( ‘draft’, ‘pending’, ‘auto-draft’ ) ) ) { $data[‘post_name’] = sanitize_title( $data[‘post_title’] ); } return $data; } add_filter( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘myplugin_update_slug’, 99, 2 );
When I do this, I get the desired result from this page, but all of my other page links break (using permalinks.) Because, quite simply, WordPress hasn’t got a clue you’re asking for a page. It’s doing what you told it to do; For all URLs that look like http://example.com/X, look for posts with messagetype’s … Read more
