I'm working on a WordPress site in which the services page is one long page with anchors for each section.
www.mysite.com/services/#human-resources jumps to the Human Resources section as expected.
Is there any way in the .htaccess file to make a url such as www.mysite.com/services/human-resources/ jump directly to the anchor?
I've tried several different rewrite rules, the closest I've gotten is:
RewriteRule services/human-resources services/#human-resources [NE,L,R=301]
But this shows the # in the url which defeats the purpose. Removing the R=301 just causes it to do nothing.
Thanks.
I have been working on a similar site and this is how I solved that issue.
First add this action to functions.php, witch redirects the user to the proper anchor on the page.
function url_handler(){
$path = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 1); //get the path minus the '/'
if( is_page() || is_404() ){ // do you own conditional tags
wp_redirect( home_url("#" . $path) ); //redirect to the #anchor
exit();
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'url_handler' );
Next you need to make a javascirpt handler witch gets the url of the page (the url with the anchor) and make the proper event to scroll to that section. Something like this:
var hash = window.location.hash;
hash = hash.replace('#','');
hash = hash.replace('/','');
/* do stuff here */
Hope this helps

I have an article with several pages in my wordpress blog. if for example i have the following link in my blog :
http://example.com/heartbreaking-photos
any idea how can i change the link of the second page from
http://example.com/heartbreaking-photos/2
to http://example.com/heartbreaking-photos/CUSTOM-STRING
CUSTOM-STRING aimed to be a custom title inside the page
To achieve this, you will need to do 2 things:
Disable the default WordPress canonical redirect - this is necessary, because WordPress will always redirect to the /2/ page when it encounters the page parameter in the URL or query args.
Add a custom rewrite rule to direct your custom title to the second page of your page - this is essentially necessary to allow the link format that you want.
In terms of code, this is what you need (this is a working solution, I've just tested it locally):
// Removes the canonical redirection
remove_filter( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical' );
// Add custom rewrite rules
add_action( 'init', 'my_add_custom_rewrite_rules' );
function my_add_custom_rewrite_rules() {
// Slug of the target page
$page_slug = 'heartbreaking-photos';
// Page number to replace
$page_num = 2;
// Title you wish to replace the page number with
$title = 'custom-string';
// Add the custom rewrite rule
add_rewrite_rule(
'^' . $page_slug . '/' . $title . '/?$',
'index.php?pagename=' . $page_slug . '&page=' . $page_num, 'top'
);
}
There are three things you might want to configure or change here:
$page_slug - this is the slug of your page, in your case this is heartbreaking-photos
$page_num - the number of your pagination page, in your case this is 2
$title - the title you wish to use instead of your page number 2.
Feel free to alter the code as you wish, or copy it to cover more additional cases, similar to this one.
EDIT
Important: Once you use the code, go to Settings > Permalinks and click the "Save Changes" button. This will rebuild your rewrite rules, and is necessary for the solution to work.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
You can try this codex. Pass the arg and you will get page id, page title and use those
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages
Or you can call page title by page id
$pagetitle= get_post_field( 'post_title', $page_id );
Ok, so basically you don't want to display the navigation link under the page (use css or modify the post template in the child theme) and add your custom link. If I understand it well:
Remove navigation links (depends on your theme, but basically):
.nav-links { display: none; }
You can add the custom link through function + custom fileds:
create a custom field, for example "my-url" in your post, see codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
add to your functions.php (in the child theme or in a custom site plugin):
function my_page_add_to_content( $content ) {
if ( ! empty(get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'my-url', true ) ) {
$content .= 'URL TEXT HERE'
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_page_add_to_content' );
I have an external page that reads a RSS feed for a tag. I can't change anything on the external page, so the challenge is to change the RSS feed on my side to match the requirements.
On the external page the 3 latest posts for a tag are shown, and at the end of the section (note: not after each post but after all 3 posts) there is a "View all" link. This link receives its value from the element in the feed, which is by default set to my blog homepage, e.g. http://myblog.com). For this specific tag the link should be http://myblog.com/tag/myspecialtag.
The requirement is that the "View all" link links to the tag page instead of the homepage.
My idea was to add a condition to the element to change the URL for this specific category. I tried to change the feed template as recommended here: Customizing feeds, but for some reason it doesn't change the template at all. The code I tried is the following:
remove_all_actions( 'do_feed_rss2' );
add_action( 'do_feed_rss2', 'change_feed_rss2', 10, 1 );
function change_feed_rss2( $for_comments ) {
$rss_template = get_template_directory() . '/feeds/feed-custom_rss2.php';
if( file_exists( $rss_template ) )
load_template( $rss_template );
else
do_feed_rss2( $for_comments ); // Call default function
}
Of course I created the custom feed template and stored it in the feeds directory in my theme.
As this didn't work I tried looking into filters/hooks but I couldn't find anything helpful regarding my issue. Any ideas on how to best solve this issue?
I came up with the following solution:
I created a new custom page template custom_rss-feed.php and copied the code from wp-includes/feed-rss.php into it. I assigned this template to a new page. Additionally I added a filter to get_bloginfo_rss like the following:
function alter_bloginfo_rss($value, $key) {
if ( $key === "url" &&
is_page_template("custom_rss-feed.php")
) {
return $value . "/my/custom/url";
}
return $value;
}
add_filter("get_bloginfo_rss", "alter_bloginfo_rss", 10, 2);
I am using Wp Store Locator plugin.And I have Modified it according my need.But I am stuck in redirection.
Basically this plugin works with short code.So at the time of listing my URL is like that : localhost/wordpress/?page_id=391
Now there is one link which is redirects me to http://localhost/wordpress/?wpsl_id=3
Here is code for that :
add_action("template_redirect", 'my_theme_redirect');
function my_theme_redirect() {
$dpath = $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ;
$templatefilename = 'single-store.php';
if (strpos($dpath,'wpsl_id') !== false){
$return_template = get_template_directory() .'/' .$templatefilename ;
//$nurl = get_permalink($return_template);
//echo $return_template; exit;
wp_redirect($return_template);
exit;
}
}
This code is not redirecting me to any-where.It stays on the same page localhost/wordpress/?page_id=391 What might be the issue?
Anyone can suggest me how can I direct to URL when it detects wpsl_id in the URL ? I want to redirect them to plugin's template folder where I have added a file for that.
EDITED :
I have added above code in the plugin file just above the short code. Hope I has nothing to do with this issue :)
The template name looks fine. You just need to register the template before you call it.
Add this filter so this will execute before your action:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'single-store' );
Currently, by default, the following columns appear in the list of pages in the WordPress admin panel:
Title
Author
Comments
Date
and because I have AIO SEO installed:
SEO Title
SEO Description
SEO Keywords
Is there a way to have WordPress also display the URL to the page (at least the part of the URL that is created when the page itself is created)?
The page url is actually already there by default, it's just hiding. When you hover over a page title, several links appear below the title -- edit, quick edit, trash, view. View is the hyperlink to the page, which you can click to view the page, or right click and copy the link address to use elsewhere.
Otherwise, if you are using a custom/child theme, you could add the following to your functions.php file:
add_filter('manage_page_posts_columns', 'my_custom_column', 10);
add_action('manage_page_posts_custom_column', 'add_my_custom_column', 10, 2);
function my_custom_column($defaults) {
$defaults['url'] = 'URL';
return $defaults;
}
function add_my_custom_column($column_name, $post_id) {
if ($column_name == 'url') {
echo get_permalink( $post_id );
}
}
Note: This just creates a text url to your page.
Also note, you do not want to edit your functions.php file directly if you are using a theme you did not create, as it will be overwritten when you update. If you want to add this to an existing theme, I'd suggest looking into child themes.
This is helpful. I would only improve the output slightly by removing the site url and just showing the page. Takes up less space and less to weed through visually.
if ($column_name == 'url') {
$siteURL=get_site_url($post_id);
$link= get_permalink( $post_id );
echo str_replace($siteURL,"",$link);
}
I'm trying to create a custom login page for a custom user page, but I can't get wordpress to stop redirecting the word login to wp-login.php.
Setup is pretty simple, I'm adding a rule that looks like this. account/login/?$ that yields to index.php?account=login. I also setup my rewrite tag for that custom query var. I have a couple other rules setup and they all work properly.
When I use monkey man's rewrite analyzer everything points properly, but on the front end any time I enter login into the url it redirects me to wp-login.php. It doesn't matter what segment it is entered at. so /login, /account/login, /dogs/bulldogs/login.... all redirect to wp-login.php
As far as I can tell there aren't any other rewrite rules containing login. So i'm at a loss.
As a last piece of info, i'm working in wp 3.6
Any advise or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I'm facing the exact same problem. Google wasn't being very helpful, so I had the need to dig in. :)
Right on top of the wp-includes/template-loader.php file, you find this little snippet of code:
if ( defined('WP_USE_THEMES') && WP_USE_THEMES )
do_action('template_redirect');
If you inspect what functions are hooked to that action at that time, you'll find a reference to the wp_redirect_admin_locations function (both the hook and the function are declared on the /wp-includes/canonical.php file - line 526).
Within the wp_redirect_admin_locations function, you'll find this:
$logins = array(
home_url( 'wp-login.php', 'relative' ),
home_url( 'login', 'relative' ),
site_url( 'login', 'relative' ),
);
if ( in_array( untrailingslashit( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ), $logins ) ) {
wp_redirect( site_url( 'wp-login.php', 'login' ) );
exit;
}
An easy solution for the problem, would be to hook a function of yours to the *wp_redirect* filter. Something like this (within your functions.php):
add_filter('wp_redirect', 'yourprefix_filter_login_redirect', 10, 2);
function yourprefix_filter_login_redirect($location, $status)
{
$uri = trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
if ($uri === 'login') {
return false;
}
return $location;
}
So... The *wp_redirect_admin_locations* terminates the script after trying to preform the redirect, so the solution above won't work.
The only other solution I'm seeing right now is to bypass the function all together which kind of sucks. All the other redirects defined within that function, will be lost all together...
Anyway, what I've ended up using:
add_action(
'init',
function() {
remove_action('template_redirect', 'wp_redirect_admin_locations', 1000);
}
);
Building on top of Diogos great answer, you can even disable the /login redirect without losing the other redirects. I just posted this solution on WPSE: Disable "/login" redirect
