To modify the search rewrite rules you can hook into the search_rewrite_rules filter. You can either add the extra rewrite rules that match post types yourself, or you can change the default “search rewrite structure” to also include the post type and then re-generate the rules (there are four rules: one standard, one with paging … Read more
The redirect_canonical function in /wp-includes/canonical.php is called on any given URL and will attempt to best-guess the URL the user wanted, and redirect them to there, when a URL does not exist. It has a whole huge amount of code to do this for all sorts of common errors.
In your example, the author rewrite pattern changes from /author/[authorname]/ to /[author_level]/[author_name]/. If we allow [author_level] to be anything, we will get into conflict with the rules for pages, because /[anything]/[anything]/ can be either an author archive or a regular subpage. For this reason, my solution assumes you have a limited number of author levels, … Read more
When you register the post type, set the argument ‘has_archive’ to a string, in your case plugins. The doc block for register_post_type() says: @type bool|string $has_archive Whether there should be post type archives, or if a string, the archive slug to use. Will generate the proper rewrite rules if $rewrite is enabled. Default false. Minified … Read more
I don’t have the reputation to comment so I’m sure this may be dumped if not totally complete/accurate; but, doesn’t WP work in a way that it goes through the core’s index.php file using rewrites and such. This being the case, if you don’t specify a specific file that you are accessing, you aren’t really … Read more
This seem to work: Create the rewrite rules like post-type/post-name.html. You can use arrays to create the rules for just some set of post types instead of doing it for all of them. add_action( ‘rewrite_rules_array’, ‘rewrite_rules’ ); function rewrite_rules( $rules ) { $new_rules = array(); foreach ( get_post_types() as $t ) $new_rules[ $t . ‘/([^/]+)\.html$’ … Read more
There’s a simple rule that I follow (it’s hard to explain, so I’ll give examples): http://example.com/categories/ <– This plural form should mean that the page shows a list of all the categories in use on your site. Similarly, if it’s “authors” (as in http://example.com/authors/), I’d expect the page to show a list (with or without … Read more

That’s how you can do first part of the job – get rid o CPT slug in post link (eg. news post type). function df_custom_post_type_link( $post_link, $id = 0 ) { $post = get_post($id); if ( is_wp_error($post) || ‘news’ != $post->post_type || empty($post->post_name) ) return $post_link; return home_url(user_trailingslashit( “$post->post_name” )); } add_filter( ‘post_type_link’, ‘df_custom_post_type_link’ , … Read more
A basic rule that would work for your example: function wpd_foo_rewrite_rule() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘^foo/([^/]*)/?’, ‘index.php?pagename=$matches[1]¶m=foo’, ‘top’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpd_foo_rewrite_rule’ ); This takes whatever comes after foo/ and sets that as pagename for the query, and then param gets the static value foo. If you need different URL patterns, you’ll need extra rules for … Read more
