How to display a public profile page for registered users with custom slug?

Removing the redirect after changing a page’s slug

This (in your functions.php) will turn it off (but see also the comment I’ve left): remove_action(‘template_redirect’, ‘wp_old_slug_redirect’); It seems odd that your wp_postmeta table wouldn’t have any _wp_old_slug keys – the bit of code that does that is in wp-includes/query.php (wp_old_slug_redirect()) – you could add an exit or debug statement there to check if it’s … Read more

Using $_GET variables in the URL?

Try adding the variable to the WordPress’ array of ‘recognised query variables’… add_filter(‘query_vars’, ‘my_register_query_vars’ ); function my_register_query_vars( $qvars ){ //Add query variable to $qvars array $qvars[] = ‘my_error’; return $qvars; } Then the value of ‘my_error’ can be found via get_query_var(‘my_error’). (See Codex) EDIT From Otto’s comment, it’s better to do: add_action(‘init’,’add_my_error’); function add_my_error() { … Read more

Does WordPress Change the .htaccess File When Updating?

Generally speaking WordPress will update the .htaccess file any time you change the permalink structure. Many plugins will also update/modify the file as needed.

Getting the Site URL Including the Front Base

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

Setting up WordPress with Custom Permalinks and no .htaccess File?

Hi @Mike Lee: To answer your question it is helpful to understand how everything works. Apache Serves URLs that Match Files and Directories Apache is designed to serve files explicitly matched by URL, or to serve the index.php found in a directory when the directory is explicitly matched. But Apache Can Serve URLs Matched by … Read more

Why permalinks work with /index.php/%postname% but not with just %postname%?

I had all the correct code in the .htaccess file, but it ended up being completely overridden in the Ubuntu default /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file as well. Changed the entry for / and /var/www from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All, restarted Apache and now everything works just fine.

Removing Parent Page(s) from Permalink

a quick search shows another stackexchange topic on this, and it used this code to cleanup the permalink of parents/ancestors: function wpse_101072_flatten_hierarchies( $post_link, $post ) { if ( ‘page’ != $post->post_type ) return $post_link; $uri = ”; foreach ( $post->ancestors as $parent ) { $uri = get_post( $parent )->post_name . “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” . $uri; } return … Read more

How do I set a custom base URL for standard posts?

did you try defining your perm structure like: /blog/%postname%/ If each one of your custom post types has its own slug defined, this should work like you are asking.

How to remove dates from existing permalinks?

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
