How do I add a tag slug to a category URL to filter posts?

Ok, I found a solution. By default in WP there is an option to filter categories by tags. E.g. https://example.com/category_name?tag=tag_name. I added a rewrite rule and redirection: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_rewrite_rule/ add_action( ‘init’, function () { add_rewrite_rule( ‘([a-z0-9-]+)\/tag\/([a-z0-9-]+)\/?$’, ‘index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&tag=$matches[2]’, ‘top’ ); } ); https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/template_redirect/ add_action( ‘template_redirect’, function () { if ( is_category() && is_tag() && ! empty( $_GET[‘tag’] … Read more

Create page (not the post type) dynamically
