My question is about custom post rewrite url
On may page i have custom post type products
I have custom post type slug name - products and taxonomy - category.
I have urls like this:
domain.com/custom_post_type/product_name
but i need
domain.com/taxonomy/product_name
Is this acheivable?
To change the URL in wordpress go to settings -> permalinks
You can either choose a default permalink or create your own in this case.

I have added categories in pages, custom post type using register_taxonomy_for_object_type().
Now I need help in url rewriting. How can I add category name in page, custom post type and posts urls? The final structure will be something like this:
/categoryname/post_name
/categoryname/page_name
/categoryname/custom_post_type_name
I think this can be achieved using category-base.
Go to SETTINGS --> PERMALINKS --> CATEGORY BASE
I am new in WordPress world. I created custom post successfully and I displayed it on page template page. Now I want to use taxonomy-{category}.php and single-{post}.php for displaying custom post but I am confused in taxonomy page and single page. How can I achieve this?
In taxonomy-{category}.php here category means our custom category name or others?
In single-{post}.php here post means custom post name or others?
See the Template_Hierarchy on the Wordpress Codex
taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php - If the taxonomy were sometax, WordPress
would look for taxonomy-sometax.php
single-{post_type}.php - If the post type were product, WordPress would look for single-product.php.
Example:
For post_type
When on an online store custom post type in the backend, the URL would be wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=store.
So the post_type in this case is store, which means I will name my file single-store.php
For taxonomy
When on the Categories page for the online store in the backend, the URL would be edit-tags.php?taxonomy=store_categories&post_type=store
So the taxonomy file would be taxonomy-store_categories.php
In taxonomy-{category}.php here category means our custom category name or others?
taxonomy-{category}.php here category means your custom category(taxonomy)
In single-{post}.php here post means custom post name or others?
single-{post}.php here post means custom post type name
I'm having some trouble with Wordpress category/subcategory archive URLs.
For example, I want to be able to display this archive: http://faroutmagazine.co.uk/wp/track-of-the-day while keeping its parent category in the URL, making it http://faroutmagazine.co.uk/wp/music/track-of-the-day
Previously, I was just getting a "This is embarrassing..." 404 message when accessing the /music/track-of-the-day URL (even though that's the one that was appearing in the View option under categories in the admin section of WP).
Now the View link in the admin area only shows me the /track-of-the-day URL, and this DOES display the category posts which is great, but I want it to include the parent category in the URL.
Is there anything I can do to the functions.php file or any plugins I can add to make this happen? Please bear in mind that there are multiple subcategory archives on this site, and they should all contain the parent category in the URL.
***UPDATE:
I actually have just set everything up a different way now using Pages and showing category archives on pages as it's taking up too much time. Thanks for your answer though. People telling me to use %category%/%postname% as the permalink structure are incorrect - yes, this works for the POST urls but not for the archive category of the subcategory which is the problem I was actually looking for help with. If anyone can provide an answer, it would be appreciated, but I am using this workaround now as this was taking up way too much time trying to figure out.
This happens because you chose category and subcategory from the right options tick boxes when editing the entry. Choose only the subcategory box in every entry and it will show the nested URL.
To make this happen you need to make some change in permalinks
go to Settings->Permalinks then select custom structure and use this syntax " /%category%/%postname%/ "in the field
Now save the settings and you can see the post url's using its category name in the permalink
Hope it helps :)
You should set hierarchical value to true when you are defining your taxonomy.
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'mySlug', 'hierarchical' => true),
Then if you have a subcategory the url will be shown like this:
http://example.com/taxonomy/parentCategory/subCategory/
I found this sloution here:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/155319/how-to-include-parent-terms-in-hierarchical-taxonomy-urls
Actually hierarchical subcategory archive permalinks are default in wordpress.
If you have a "pretty permalinks" structure selected in settings > permalinks, like /%postname% for example, then category and subcategory archive urls should default to something like:
yourdomain.com/category-base/category/sub-category/sub-sub-category
I had encountered a similar issue with a recent WP project, BUT I was using a plugin called WP No Base Permalink in order to get rid of my category and tag base slugs in my archive permalinks. When I deactivated the plugin, category hierarchy suddenly returned to my archive permalinks (luckily this project was still in development, otherwise, I would have had some major 404 problems).
I have not yet found/tested another plugin for eliminating category/tag base slugs that will also preserve hierarchy in sub/category archive urls, but it turns out that I do not need that functionality for my current project.
Instead I am using the base slugs blog-articles and blog-tags for the standard categories and tags in order to set the blog taxonomies apart from other taxonomies. Then I am using the plugin Types to create a custom post type and custom taxonomies for that post type. The Types plugin has an option in the advanced settings to set hierarchical taxonomy urls to true or false when creating a custom taxonomy.
Finally, I found a plugin called Remove Taxonomy Base Slug that effectively eliminates the default taxonomy term from the base slug of the taxonomy archive urls. And this, thankfully, does not interfere with the hierarchical sub/category urls, OR the base slugs for standard tags and categories.
So now, my blog categories/tags look like this:
yourdomain.com/blog-articles/category/sub-category/
or yourdomain.com/blog-tags/tag/
And my custom post type categories/tags look like this:
yourdomain.com/category/sub-category/ or yourdomain.com/tag/
Phew!
I hope this helps!
Setting Settings->Permalinks->Category base to '%category%' should give you what you want. According to WP doc:
Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI
See http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks.
The Permalinks settings should be like /%category%/%postname%/ ..
If use custom permalinks settings as %postname% only, it will make your url in the form of .../category/subcategory.
You can use WordPress plugin to remove 'category' from url
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-no-category-base/
and then follow the instruction given by Maruti
I'm putting together a site based on a Wordpress template, and was wondering if there's a way to link one post to another without entering the full URL. I'd like to be able to use something that doesn't change if the parent directory or subdomain changes. Any ideas?
Posts
To link to a Post, find the ID of the target post on the Posts administration panel, and insert it in place of the '123' in this link:
Post Title
Categories
To link to a Category, find the ID of the target Category on the Categories administration panel, and insert it in place of the '7' in this link:
Category Title
Pages
To link to a Page, find the ID of the target Page on the Pages administration panel, and insert it in place of the '42' in this link:
Page title
(From Wordpress)
Linking Posts, Pages, and Categories
Something like: Post Title should work even if you use permalinks.
use below code to get particular post url and Title only by post id.
replace $postid with your post id that you want to display.
$postid = 1;
echo ''.get_the_title($postid).'';
