OK, let’s first get some definitive clarification on the proper query vars. Refer to Post and Page parameters on the WP_Query codex page. name (string) – use post slug. pagename (string) – use page slug. We can confirm this with WP_Query: $args = array( ‘name’ => ‘mypage’ ); $mypage = new WP_Query( $args ); echo … Read more
I want to remove all instances on aff=x regardless of how many other parameters in the URL. Assuming you want to keep any other URL parameters (in any order) and simply remove the aff=number parameter, then you can do something like the following using mod_rewrite in the root .htaccess file: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&|)aff=\d+(?:&(.*)|)$ RewriteRule (.*) … Read more
Your permalink structure for taxonomy will conflict with default one for pages. In the case of the address domain.com/item-one/item-two how does WordPress know if it’s a page item-two with the parent page item-one or item-two is custom post type and item-one is term of region taxonomy? The order of rewrite rules will decide, and because … Read more
Read AJAX in Plugins. Themes work the same way. So, you get an API, some gotchas inclusive. 🙂 Our tag ajax is quite popular too; you may find some good solutions there.
In your rewrite rule, pagename should in fact be the query_var of your custom post type. Unless you used query_var => ‘something_else’ in your register_post_type arguments, it’ll be the same name as your custom post type: index.php?locations=$matches[2]
Changing the permalink structure is definitely a big deal for an existing site. In order to test the various ways in which changing the permalink structure could break the site, I definitely recommend setting up a test environment. So, my question is, is it ok to leave the internal links “ugly?” I’m not sure from … Read more
Why don’t we create our own template file, and do our stuff there? Here’s what I’m going to do: Create a custom page template Call the required plugin’s functions inside the page Redirect the plugins URLs to the page Get the query var and process the request – The page template Let’s create a simple … Read more
@kureikain’s answer looks great, and it probably works really well in a wide variety of circumstances. But for author URLs specifically, there’s a simpler way. Change the author_base, like so: global $wp_rewrite; $wp_rewrite->author_base = “people”; $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); You should only need to run this once, perhaps on a plugin activation. Updating WordPress should not affect this … Read more
You need a rewrite rule! First things first let’s get that in place: function wpse_226796_rewrite_rule( $rules ) { global $wp_rewrite; // http://php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php $regex = ‘postcomment-page/([1-9][0-9]*)-paged-([1-9][0-9]*)\.html’; $query = sprintf( ‘%s?pagename=postcomment-page&postid=%s&paged=%s’, $wp_rewrite->index, $wp_rewrite->preg_index( 1 ), $wp_rewrite->preg_index( 2 ) ); // Push our rule to the top of $rules return array( $regex => $query ) + $rules; } … Read more
Just add this to your functions.php or plugin. add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘attachment_redirect’, 1 ); /** * Redirect any attachment page to their parent with 301 redirection */ function attachment_redirect() { global $post; if ( is_attachment() AND isset( $post->post_parent) AND is_numeric( $post->post_parent ) ) { wp_redirect( get_permalink( $post->post_parent ), 301 ); exit(); } }
