rewrite-rules

You could call get_post_type with the id to check its type before outputting the permalink.

I recognize that rule. It’s the unusual rule I wrote to deal with the permalink uncertainty issue. 🙂 First, you’ll only get that weird rule if you have your custom permalinks set to start with a non-numeric value. Like, if you have your custom permalink string as just %postname% instead of something like %year%/%postname%. Next, … Read more

That’s going to the non wp rules because you’re not mapping the URL to the index.php page format. If you want it to be a WP rule, then you need to start the destination with index.php and include the query string to define what you want the query to contain. So if you wanted it … Read more

doesn’t it work get_query_var(‘u’) to grab the variable ? Also you need to use – “index.php?pagename=search-result&u=”. ‘$matches[1]’ , single quote surrounding $matches[1].

ok this i didn’t know i had to “register” variable to use function my_add_rewrite_rules() { global $wp,$wp_rewrite; $wp->add_query_var(‘book_id’); add_rewrite_rule(‘^books/([^/]*)/reviews/([0-9]+)/?$’, ‘index.php?page_id=227&bookid_id=$matches[2]’, ‘top’); // Once you get working, remove this next line $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false); } add_action(‘init’, ‘my_add_rewrite_rules’); and in page-reviews.php i am using $book_id = $GLOBALS[‘wp’]->query_vars[‘book_id’]; One last question: how do i fix my breadcrumbs as the books/…/reviews … Read more

The second one works because post_type=market triggers the market post type archive. Pages have no archive, so post_type=page in the first example doesn’t point to a valid destination. Rewrite rules have to ultimately result in a successful main query. For a specific page, you could use page_id or pagename.

To answer my own question, I didn’t need to remove the ‘redirect_canonical’ filter, and I only needed to change the 2nd parameter for add_rewrite_rule. The resulting function looks as follows: function add_custom_rewrites() { add_rewrite_tag(‘%category%’, ‘(.+)’); add_rewrite_rule(‘^gallery/([^/]*)/?$’, ‘index.php?pagename=gallery&category=$matches[1]’, ‘top’); flush_rewrite_rules(); } add_action(‘init’, ‘add_custom_rewrites’);

All rewrite rules should point to index.php. This is a reference to the main index.php file through which all requests are routed, not a template file.
