Turns out, this is a bug in the core. I was about to report it, but found out that it’s been there for, like years, and applies to custom taxonomies as well. See tickets: #5809, #21950 and #22023. If all goes as planned, it’s set to be fixed in 3.8 3.9 4.1 4.2. UPDATE: Yep, … Read more
Yes, any of those are possible and configurable under Settings > Permalinks. Have a look at the Permalinks page for other possibilities. One thing to note though, it’s suggested to add a number at the beginning of your permalinks to reduce the number of rewrite rules WordPress has to generate to resolve all of your … Read more
Use get_term_by: $id = 42; if( $term = get_term_by( ‘id’, $id, ‘product_cat’ ) ){ echo $term->name; }
That is totally normal behaviour. If you want to remove category base you will need to write some custom rewrite rules, not simple rules I must say. From my point of view, removing category base requires a extra job in each request that is worthless because it doesn’t provide any advantage for SEO or for … Read more
This code pretty much does the job for this question and another one about removing the /category/ base from the permalinks. Got it from a plugin that does this, and decided to just use the raw code. So the permalinks only have the lowest child-category listed. First, we had: example.com/category/items/books/ and now… example.com/books The RSS … Read more
This is quite an interesting question (which I have upvoted, specially for your approach and research). The big curveball here is the first page of the query: You cannot set the query to return 0 posts on the first page By moving the page content of every page up by one page, you will loose … Read more
You should be able to use pre_get_posts and set the posts_per_page to 50 conditionally (on being feed for categories). Unfortunately there is this unresolved trac ticket. The only work-around is to do hook into post_limits and replace the LIMIT part of the SQL query directly. add_action(‘post_limits’,’wpse71759_category_rss_limit’,10,2); function wpse71759_category_rss_limit($limit, $query){ if( $query->is_feed() && $query->is_category() ){ $paged … Read more
building on chrisguitarguy’s answer here is a quick snippet you can drop in your theme’s functions.php file to do job add_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘wpse69948_archive_disabler’); function wpse69948_archive_disabler() { if(is_tag() || is_category() || is_date() || is_author()) { global $wp_query; $wp_query->set_404(); } }
With wp-cli installed you can run a bash script like this to remove the ‘uncategorized’ category from all posts with more than one category #!/bin/bash for post in $(wp post list –field=ID) do count=$(wp post term list $post ‘category’ –fields=”name” –format=”count”) if [ “$count” -gt “1” ] then wp post term remove $post category ‘uncategorized’ … Read more
You can’t use get_category_by_slug() with a custom taxonomy. You need to use get_term_by(). $category = get_term_by( ‘slug’, ‘military’, ‘product_cat’ );
