Thousands of 404 errors on old posts due to embedded links

I am about 99% sure the reason for much of this is that someone has used relative links in the post body. A link that looks like this: <a href=”www.whufc.com/”>Some link Test</a> Will end up looking like this: 2010/premiership-forecast-title-race-hots-up-gunners-prepare-for-adebayor/www.whufc.com/ If it shows up on this page of the site: 2010/premiership-forecast-title-race-hots-up-gunners-prepare-for-adebayor/ You need to have the … Read more

URL rewrite in theme doesn’t seem to be working

Hard to find a good rewriting rule

Rewrite rules are intended to convert ugly urls (containing with & and ?) into pretty urls not the countrary. So I think you need a redirect more than a rewrite rule: add_action(‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_custom_redirect’, 1); function my_custom_redirect() { if ( filter_input(INPUT_GET, ‘post_type’, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) === ‘portfolio’ ) { $cat = filter_input( INPUT_GET, ‘portfolio-category’, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING ); $tag = … Read more

You can add this to the header.php between <head> and </head>: <?php if ( is_front_page() ) echo ‘<link rel=”canonical” href=”‘ . home_url( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ) . ‘” />’; ?>

Rewriting a date hierarchy into a ‘yyyy-mm-dd’ slug

Internal rewrite rules have to point to index.php and set the proper query vars for WordPress to be able to load the requested object: add_rewrite_rule( ‘magazine/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/?’, ‘index.php?issue=$matches[1]-$matches[2]-$matches[3]’, ‘top’ ); That should get incoming requests to resolve correctly, however, that’s only half the task.
