I am trying to get my permalink to be something like this:
http://example.com/projects/1234
By default it is looking like this:
http://example.com/projects/title
I tried setting the "slug" to "projects/%post_id%" but then it looked like this:
http://example.com/projects/%post_id%/title
Is there a way to set the slug to my custom slug "/" the id for the post? Any help is appreciated.
A gift from me to you: Just replace "property" with the name of your custom post type. Goes in your theme's functions.php
add_filter('post_type_link', 'property_post_type_link', 1, 3);
function property_post_type_link( $link, $post = 0 ){
if ( $post->post_type == 'property' ){
return home_url( 'property/' . $post->ID );
} else {
return $link;
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'property_rewrites_init' );
function property_rewrites_init(){
add_rewrite_rule(
'property/([0-9]+)?$',
'index.php?post_type=property&p=$matches[1]',
'top' );
}
Is 'projects' a category or tag etc?
Something like the below should work if projects is a category or tag.
/%category%/%post_id%/

I have the CPT (Custom Post Type) "news".
In the "category" taxonomy I have "food" and "health".
The archive page is accessed via the url:
www.mysite.com/news
Is there any way to show "news" by categories? Ex:
www.mysite.com/food/news
www.mysite.com/health/news
Thank you all in advance.
In that link I found the following solution:
The solution for me had three parts. In my case the post type is called trainings.
Add 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'trainings/%cat%') to the
register_post_type function.
Change the slug to have a dynamic
category. "Listen" to the new dynamic URL and load the appropriate template.
So here is how to change the permalink dynamically for a given post type. Add to functions.php:
function vx_soon_training_post_link( $post_link, $id = 0 ) {
$post = get_post( $id );
if ( is_object( $post ) ) {
$terms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'training_cat' );
if ( $terms ) {
return str_replace( '%cat%', $terms[0]->slug, $post_link );
}
}
return $post_link;
}
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'vx_soon_training_post_link', 1, 3 );
...and this is how to load the appropriate template on the new dynamic URL. Add to functions.php:
function archive_rewrite_rules() {
add_rewrite_rule(
'^training/(.*)/(.*)/?$',
'index.php?post_type=trainings&name=$matches[2]',
'top'
);
//flush_rewrite_rules(); // use only once
}
add_action( 'init', 'archive_rewrite_rules' );
Thats it! Remember to refresh the permalinks by saving the permalinks again in de backend. Or use the flush_rewrite_rules() function.
But I have a question that I couldn't do there:
This part:
Add 'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'trainings/%cat%') to the register_post_type function.
where do I do that? Or is this already embedded in the later code?
I have a custom post type for minutes of the meetings without a title. I wish that the permalink was something like www.website.com/minutes/2018-10-16/ in witch minutes is the registered custom post type name and 2018-10-16 is the metabox whit the meeting date (that I already created).
Ho can I do this?
Thanks!
I found the solution by following this tutorial.
This is the code posted by Milo for a custom post type called "product":
add_filter('post_type_link', 'wpse33551_post_type_link', 1, 3);
function wpse33551_post_type_link( $link, $post = 0 ){
if ( $post->post_type == 'product' ){
return home_url( 'product/' . $post->ID );
} else {
return $link;
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpse33551_rewrites_init' );
function wpse33551_rewrites_init(){
add_rewrite_rule(
'product/([0-9]+)?$',
'index.php?post_type=product&p=$matches[1]',
'top' );
}
I have custom search page, that have permalink http://mywebsite.com/custom-search/
What should I do to pass the search keyword as a parameter, like this: http://mywebsite.com/custom-search/keyword
I get error 404 page. Or may be there a way to change standard permalink /search/ to /custom-search/ ?
You should use rewrite endpoints
A sample code :
/*!
* URL rewrite
*/
function my_custom_rewrite_rules() {
$page_id = 123;
$page_path = get_page_uri( $page_id );
add_rewrite_endpoint( 'keyword', EP_PAGES );
add_rewrite_rule('^'. $page_path .'/(.*)/?', 'index.php?page_id=' . $page_id . '&keyword=$matches[1]', 'top');
}
add_action('init', 'my_custom_rewrite_rules');
and then add it as a query_var
function my_custom_query_vars($vars) {
if( isset( $_GET['keyword'] ) && !empty( $_GET['keyword'] ) ) {
$vars[] = 'keyword';
}
return $vars;
}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'my_custom_query_vars', 10, 1 );
you will be able to retrieve the value of the passed keyword via get_query_var("keyword")
hope it helps
Note : You must update your permalinks structure or use flush_rewrite_rules(); after adding these codes
just changed search base with function
function vital_custom_search_base() {
$GLOBALS['wp_rewrite']->search_base = 'custom-search';
}
add_action( 'init', 'vital_custom_search_base' );
function only works after resave in settings > permalinks
I'm looking for a way to put a Woocommerce product ID in a URL, e.g.:
domain.com/product-category/id/product-title
The ID is the product's post ID, e.g. "12092". Automatically created by WooCommerce in Wordpress.
Can this be done in a way? Either easily through the Wordpress permalinks settings or in a different way through hacking my way into the files.
This nearly works:
<?php
add_filter('post_type_link', 'wpse33551_post_type_link', 1, 3);
function wpse33551_post_type_link( $link, $post = 0 ){
if ( $post->post_type == 'product' ){
return home_url( 'p/' . $post->ID );
} else {
return $link;
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpse33551_rewrites_init' );
function wpse33551_rewrites_init(){
add_rewrite_rule(
'product/([0-9]+)?$',
'index.php?post_type=product&p=$matches[1]',
'top' );
}
?>
But the output is:
domain.com/p/45
I'd like it to be:
domain.com/p/45/title-of-the-post
Thanks!
Why so complicated? Go to settings -> permalinks and click "Shop based URL" and save. Now you can see that the permalink structure in the "Custom structure". It should looks like this now:
/shop/%product_cat%/
Now add the post_id to the permalink setting like this:
/shop/%product_cat%/%post_id%/
Save it and go ahead.
You can use $post->post_name to get the slug.
Use a more permissive regular expression to accept any url that ends with /p/[id][anything]
<?php
add_filter('post_type_link', 'wpse33551_post_type_link', 1, 3);
function wpse33551_post_type_link( $link, $post = 0 ){
if ( $post->post_type != 'product' )
return $link;
return home_url( 'p/' . $post->ID . '/' . $post->post_name );
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpse33551_rewrites_init' );
function wpse33551_rewrites_init(){
add_rewrite_rule(
'p/([0-9]+)?.*?$',
'index.php?post_type=product&p=$matches[1]',
'top'
);
}
?>
You might need to 'reset' your permalinks in the settings menu for WordPress to accept the new rule.
I'm creating different custom post types and taxonomies and I want to remove the 'Post Tags' taxonomy from the default 'Posts' post type. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
I suggest you don't mess with the actual global. Its safer to simply deregister the taxonomy from the post type: register_taxonomy is used for both creation and modification.
function ev_unregister_taxonomy(){
register_taxonomy('post_tag', array());
}
add_action('init', 'ev_unregister_taxonomy');
To remove the sidebar menu entry:
// Remove menu
function remove_menus(){
remove_menu_page('edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag'); // Post tags
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
Perhaps a more technically correct method would be to use unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type
add_action( 'init', 'unregister_tags' );
function unregister_tags() {
unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'post' );
}
Where it says 'taxonomy_to_remove' is where you'll enter the taxonomy you want to remove. For instance you can replace it with the existing, post_tag or category.
add_action( 'init', 'unregister_taxonomy');
function unregister_taxonomy(){
global $wp_taxonomies;
$taxonomy = 'taxonomy_to_remove';
if ( taxonomy_exists( $taxonomy))
unset( $wp_taxonomies[$taxonomy]);
}
Total unregister and remove (minimal PHP version 5.4!)
add_action('init', function(){
global $wp_taxonomies;
unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'post' );
unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'post' );
if ( taxonomy_exists( 'category'))
unset( $wp_taxonomies['category']);
if ( taxonomy_exists( 'post_tag'))
unset( $wp_taxonomies['post_tag']);
unregister_taxonomy('category');
unregister_taxonomy('post_tag');
});
There is new function to remove taxonomy from WordPress.
Use unregister_taxonomy( string $taxonomy ) function
See details: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/unregister_taxonomy/
Use it in 'admin_init' hook insetead not 'init'
function unregister_taxonomy(){
register_taxonomy('post_tag', array());
}
add_action('admin_init', 'unregister_taxonomy');
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_menu_items');
function remove_menu_items() {
remove_submenu_page('edit.php','edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag');
}
