The main purpose of SEO plugin is to give you more control over SEO-related factors (titles, excerpts, meta tags and so on). It doesn’t do anything magical, just an editor to let you fine-tune beyond native WP capabilities. So necessity equals if and how much of those aspects you are willing to spend time on. … Read more
Hook into ‘404_template’. (Example) Fetch all public custom post types where has_archive is not FALSE. Find the post type’s has_archive string and see if it is part of the current request’s url. Try get_page_by_title() with the last part of the requests. wp_redirect() to the found post’s permalink. exit;.
I’m not sure it’s possible, or perhaps it just may not be the best approach. Here is my reasoning: domain.com/post-type-name/taxonomy-name/term-name/post-title/ Posts can be attached to multiple terms, so in essence there could be multiple links to the same post: domain.com/post-type-name/taxonomy-name/term-name/post-title/ domain.com/post-type-name/taxonomy-name/term2-name/post-title/ domain.com/post-type-name/taxonomy2-name/term3-name/post-title/ domain.com/post-type-name/post-title/ Depending on how you got there. You will definitely be able to … Read more
Create an endpoint. In the callback function for the endpoint call your plugin functions internally, so the whole WordPress environment is available and you are still on the same domain, no matter where the plugin URL is. Plus, make sure not to flush the rewrite rules on every page load, use the (de)activation hook for … Read more
I searched everywhere in post type registration flow but didn’t found a right way (using filter or action) to do it. All you can do either register the post type again with a different slug (I prefer) or just run those lines of code which WordPress run to build the rewrite rules in register_post_type. I … Read more
add_rewrite_endpoint( ‘changelog’, EP_ROOT ); Will add the endpoint, changelog, which you can then check on template_redirect hook. On match the query variables ( $wp_query->query ) array should contain key changelog containing whatever comes after the / in value. So for URL example.com/product1/changelog/5 you would have a query variable named changelog with the value 5. If … Read more
Have a read of the following thread on the WordPress forum, apparently the AddThis plugin is the reason the hash tag is been appended to the URL. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-hashtag-strings-added-to-url-in-firefox
Preface Two things before I begin: You really shouldn’t do this. Having static anchors to rewrite rules is there for efficiency. Your best bet is to find a slug that you’re happy with — maybe instead of “state” use “activities” (or whatever your sub-pages are). Most likely, your sub-pages are not actually states (since you … Read more
Stop WordPress to run main query is hard: you have to dig inside the deep heart of WordPress. WordPress frontend workflow: wp-blog-header.php call the function wp() wp() function creates an instance of wp class, and call main() method on it main() method code: public function main($query_args=””) { $this->init(); $this->parse_request($query_args); // build query vars starting from … Read more
This is the technique I’m using on a site right now. It involves registering a query var for “template”, and registering an endpoint called /contact, which rewrites internally to ?template=contact. Then you just check for that query variable at the template_redirect hook, and if its present, include the page template you want to load and … Read more
