I’ve not tried external rules, but you can achieve that with an internal rewrite and pagename: function wpd_page_rewrite(){ add_rewrite_rule( ‘^anothername/([^/]*)/?’, ‘index.php?pagename=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpd_page_rewrite’ ); For parent/child pages you have to set pagename to the parent/child path, page/pagename, or you can also use page_id and use the page’s ID. EDIT – note … Read more
There might be better ways using filters or apache/nginx rewrites, but here are two ideas to consider from the admin UI point of view (untested): Idea 1: You can always visit /wp-admin/options-general.php change the whole the site url: but I don’t think you’re looking for that, since this will also change the home url. Idea … Read more
The magic you’re referring to happens in redirect_canonical(). And more specifically, redirect_guess_404_permalink(). You can cut in ahead of redirect_canonical by hooking onto the template_redirect action with a slightly higher priority – in this case, anything lower than 10. function wpse_145210_redirect_canonical() { if ( is_404() && $name = get_query_var( ‘name’ ) ) { // The following … Read more
in order for the discography rule to work, I changed the rule from: add_rewrite_rule( ‘artists/([^/]+)/discography/?$’, ‘index.php?album_artist=$matches[1]&discography=yes’, ‘top’); to this : add_rewrite_rule( ‘artists/([^/]+)/discography/?$’, ‘index.php?artists=$matches[1]&discography=yes’, ‘top’); What the original rule was doing was pointing to the Artist’s Name and not the Artists custom post type, thus failing to redirect to the template. Thanks a lot to @RachelCarden … Read more
So, a first solution can be using add_rewrite_rules(). A first raw logic should be something like: 1- get term slugs you need, save in a var, say $terms_string; $terms_string should be a list of pipe-separeted slugs, suitable for regexp, like ‘type1|type2’ etc.. containing ONLY valid (allowed) values. Say use get_terms() to get all the slugs.. … Read more
Can I see your register_post_type line? Those are usually like: register_post_type( ‘some-post-type’, $args );. In this example, some-post-type would be the ID that you use in get_post_type_archive_link( ‘some-post-type’ ), not the rewrite slug yoga-event.
You can filter template_include, check the request URL for your search words and return a custom template. Here is a primitive example: add_filter( ‘template_include’, function( $template ) { $template_map = [ ‘advice-on’ => ‘advice’, ‘links-‘ => ‘link-collection’, ]; foreach ( $template_map as $find => $match ) { if ( 0 === strpos( $_SERVER[ ‘REQUEST_URI’ ], … Read more
WordPress core doesn’t have any means of managing redirects by itself. As you are excluding changes in the .htaccess file and adding code yourself, the only remainig option is to use a plugin. If you search the WP Plugin Directory for ‘redirect’, you will find one very popular one (I sometime use it myself) but … Read more
If the city and region is always city and region strings, you can do something like this. For your specific case, you could do it like this: ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘city/region/event’ ), ‘hierarchical’ => true, ‘has_archive’ => false, ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘page-attributes’), If the city becomes some city and the … Read more
Why are you removing rewrite rules? These should not noticeably impact performance, unless there were thousands of entries. Yes, you can remove them, but you will break any functionality associated with those urls, and you won’t improve your site’s speed at all. If you’re concerned about site speed, check out YSlow and Google Page Speed … Read more
