@Bainternet – your answer didn’t fully work but I did some more searching and was able to piece this filter together that did work: add_filter(‘post_type_link’, ‘custom_event_permalink’, 1, 3); function custom_event_permalink($post_link, $id = 0, $leavename) { if ( strpos(‘%event_id%’, $post_link) === ‘FALSE’ ) { return $post_link; } $post = &get_post($id); if ( is_wp_error($post) || $post->post_type != … Read more
Mark, I hate to say it, but you’re going about this the wrong way. PHP files in your plug-in should never be accessed directly in this way. Instead, they should be loaded from within WordPress just like everything else. Here are some alternative paths you could take: Create an admin page that displays your stats … Read more
You can get the value of front in the global $wp_rewrite: global $wp_rewrite; echo $wp_rewrite->front; // or echo home_url( $wp_rewrite->front ); Though that is probably of limited use, as the front base isn’t necessarily an existing page, and may 404 in many cases. If you’re using that value to prepend to other URLs, you’re likely … Read more
You can add your own rewrite rule which will let you tweak the query via URL parameters: add_action( ‘init’, ‘rewrite_photo_url’ ); function rewrite_photo_url() { add_rewrite_rule( ‘photos/([^/]+)/?$’,’index.php?page=photos&photo_id=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } If you need to use a custom variable, i.e. ‘photo_id’, you have to register the variable so it will be recognized by the query: add_filter( ‘query_vars’, … Read more
To accomplish this I always disable the slug when adding the custom post type, and add custom rewrites with the add_rewrite_rule function. See also this codex page: https://codex.wordpress.org/Rewrite_API/add_rewrite_rule
add_rewrite_rule() allows you to turn the pretty url into variables. numbers: (\d*) section: /rid/ or /pageid/ slug: ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+ Here is a class to register the rewrite and handle the request if a match has been found. <?php if ( ! class_exists( ‘CPTURLRewrite’ ) ): class CPTURLRewrite { const ENDPOINT_QUERY_NAME = ‘pageid’; const ENDPOINT_QUERY_PARAM = ‘__pageid’; … Read more
You’ll find this post by Joost De Valk on changing WordPress permalinks to only include /%postname% very helpful. How many posts you have doesn’t matter anymore if you are using the latest version of WordPress (at least > v3.3.1). I believe your permalink structure initially was — this /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ — and now, you are planning … Read more
10up engineering best practices as a great example on how to achieve that. You basically add a new rewrite tag and a new rewrite rule and then using the template_redirect action you return your custom action. Here is the code: add_action( ‘init’, function() { add_rewrite_tag( ‘%model%’, ‘([^/]+)’ ); add_rewrite_rule( ‘cars/([^/]+)/?’, ‘index.php?model=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } ); … Read more
To be added on init: To register your custom variable (‘id’ in the question) add_rewrite_tag(‘%mycustomvar%’,'([^&]+)’); To create a re-write rule: add_rewrite_rule(‘^product/([0-9]{1,})/?’,’index.php?p=4&mycustomvar=$matches[1]’,’top’) 4 is the id of the ‘product’ page. You will need to flush rewrite rules once after adding these (go to Permalink settings page) You can get the value of mycustomvar: get_query_var( ‘mycustomvar’ ). … Read more

Your server not allowing .htaccess file to read or override permission. So how can you give this permission? Open your Apache httpd.conf file serch … Read more
