this is driving me crazy!!
Scenario is…
Custom post type let’s call it “cpt_product” setup with the rewrite “products”
Trying to use the add_rewrite_rule to create a friendly URL for meta details pertaining to the product. For example, this custom post type has 3 meta fields associated with each post (mt_details, mt_inventory, and mt_availability)
Desired URL sequence is
domain.com/products/product-name/details/
domain.com/products/product-name/inventory/
domain.com/products/product-name/availability/
This would allows access to a parameter on the front-end which would allow the highlight of that information.
This is the closest I’ve gotten just need a little help please!
add_action('init','yoursite_init');
function yoursite_init() {
global $wp,$wp_rewrite;
$wp->add_query_var('metahighlight');
$wp_rewrite->add_rule('product/([^/]+)/details',
'index.php?metahighlight=details&post_type=cpt_product&name=$matches[1]', 'top');
// Once you get working, remove this next line
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);
}
I did use this method although it didn’t seem to help me… just trying to get a single one of these nice url’s working.
When I access the URL:
www.sitename.com/index.php?metahighlight=details&post_type=cpt_product&name=product-name
WordPress returns
www.sitename.com/products/product-name/?metahighlight=details&post_type=cpt_product
When what I’m looking for is
www.sitename.com/products/product-name/details/
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
