You could just prevent slugs matching existing directories. There are two filters for that. Example, not tested: add_filter( ‘wp_unique_post_slug_is_bad_hierarchical_slug’, ‘prevent_directory_slugs’, 10, 2 ); add_filter( ‘wp_unique_post_slug_is_bad_flat_slug’, ‘prevent_directory_slugs’, 10, 2 ); function prevent_directory_slugs( $bool, $slug ) { return is_dir( ABSPATH . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $slug ); }
In this case it seems like you’ll want to hook into the WordPress rewrite rules. {$permastruct}_rewrite_rules doesn’t have a lot of information, but this filter would allow you modify the array of existing rewrite rules to add in your new rewrite rule for series. For this to work: http://example.com/series/movie_slug/parrent_series_slug/series_slug You’ll need to add in movie_slug, … Read more
I have a 404 plugin that does basically what you’re needing (if I understand correctly), only it creates a new page (using the same templates from your theme) and registers it as the 404 page. If you already have an existing WordPress page (NOT php file) then you could use code similar to the following … Read more
I simply changed it to this, and it works! add_action( ‘init’, ‘addMyRules’ ); function addMyRules(){ add_rewrite_rule(‘^people/([^/]*)/?’,’index.php?author_name=$matches[1]’,’top’); add_rewrite_tag(‘%author_name%’,'([^&]+)’); flush_rewrite_rules(); }
It can be done by writing a code on post_link filter. This filter allows you to change the final post link. Since you are showing categories in your permalink, so I am assuming that your permalink structure contains %category% in it. Below code will help you to get links the way you want. add_filter( ‘post_link’, … Read more
Finally figured it out. 1) I was calling the first function at ‘rewrite_rules_array’ instead of ‘init’ which was just dumb. 2) There was still something wrong with it, but I explored another area that seems obvious now, but which I originally glossed over because it seemed to be. https://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_endpoint https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2012/06/07/rewrite-endpoints-api/ Just make an endpoint.

From the wordpress documentations – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks Using %category% with multiple categories on a post When you assign multiple categories to a post, only one can show up in the permalink. The categories are ordered alphabetically. In each group of sub-categories the order will also be alphabetical. (see Manage Categories). The post will still be accessible … Read more
I should have looked a little closer at that link posted. There was a link in that question that contained the answer (https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/5313/100538). Below is the code I used to get the effect I need: ///// CUSTOM POST TYPES ///// // register the new post type register_post_type( ‘business’, array( ‘labels’ => array( ‘name’ => __( … Read more
For the first preference, you’d need to filter in additional rewrite rules like so; function __extra_country_rewrite_rules( $rules ) { global $wp_rewrite; if ( !isset( $wp_rewrite ) ) $wp_rewrite = new WP_Rewrite; $m1 = $wp_rewrite->preg_index(1); // preg match backreferences $m2 = $wp_rewrite->preg_index(2); $m3 = $wp_rewrite->preg_index(3); $rules[‘country/([^/]+)/([^/]+)s/feed/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$’] = “index.php?country=$m1&post_type=$m2&feed=$m3”; $rules[‘country/([^/]+)/([^/]+)s/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$’] = “index.php?country=$m1&post_type=$m2&feed=$m3”; $rules[‘country/([^/]+)/([^/]+)s/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$’] = “index.php?country=$m1&post_type=$m2&paged=$m3”; $rules[‘country/([^/]+)/([^/]+)s/?$’] = … Read more
The part between the # BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress will always be rewritten when the permalinks are flushed. You can either place your extra rewrite rules before this segment, or you can add register them in WordPress as external rewrite rules. If you flush your rules now (by visiting the Permalinks page, for … Read more
