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
I see two ways to solve this problem: changing the data that forms the author URL, or changing the author URL. You probably should handle redirects too, so old URLs to user archives keep working when a user changes their nickname. Changing the author URL There are two parts to this question: handle incoming links … Read more
For some sites in German I use the following plugin to translate page to seite (the German word for page): <?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- /** * Plugin Name: T5 Page to Seite * Description: Ersetzt <code>/page/</code> durch <code>/seite/</code>. * Author: Fuxia Scholz * License: MIT * License URI: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php */ if ( ! … Read more
Change all your %event% to %event_type%. I hope that works for you.
I’m almost sure that author is built-in, so use something like author_more. You will need to add that var to query_vars first. Example: // add `author_more` to query vars add_filter( ‘init’, ‘add_author_more_query_var’ ); function add_author_more_query_var() { global $wp; $wp->add_query_var( ‘author_more’ ); } Then on your more-author-posts.php template call it like this: if ( get_query_var( ‘author_more’ … Read more
This is what I use to rewrite custom post type URLs with the post ID. You need a rewrite rule to translate URL requests, as well as a filter on post_type_link to return the correct URLs for any calls to get_post_permalink(): add_filter(‘post_type_link’, ‘wpse33551_post_type_link’, 1, 3); function wpse33551_post_type_link( $link, $post = 0 ){ if ( $post->post_type … Read more
Does WP keep track of a posts url history, providing rewrites/redirects for former urls? Yes it does. If you change a post slug, wordpress 301 redirects the old to the new URL (if your server setup allows it). Any light on how WP handles this would be appreciated. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen this feature properly … Read more
I think the best option is an endpoint. You get all the data as a simple string, so you can decide how it will be parsed, and you don’t have to worry about collisions with other rewrite rules. One thing I learned about endpoints: keep the main work as abstract as possible, fix the glitches … Read more
You can just look at url, load the file and exit. That can be done when WordPress loaded its environment, e.g. on ‘init’. add_action(‘init’, function() { $url_path = trim(parse_url(add_query_arg(array()), PHP_URL_PATH), “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”); if ( $url_path === ‘retail’ ) { // load the file if exists $load = locate_template(‘template-retail.php’, true); if ($load) { exit(); // just exit … Read more
