I have a custom theme that uses custom post types for my portfolio e.g. mysite.com/portfolio/. Once I click on a specific portfolio item the URL changes to mysite.com/portfolio-type/name/
What’s the easiest way to change the portfolio-type URL in the middle to another value e.g “showcase”?
Here the custom post type part of my functions.php:
// CUSTOM POST TYPES
function justins_custom_post_types() {
// Portfolio
$labels_portfolio = array(
'add_new' => 'Add New', 'portfolio-type',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Portfolio Post',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Portfolio Post',
'menu_name' => 'Portfolio',
'name' => 'Portfolio', 'post type general name',
'new_item' => 'New Portfolio Post',
'not_found' => 'No portfolio posts found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No portfolio posts found in Trash',
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'singular_name' => 'Portfolio Post', 'post type singular name',
'search_items' => 'Search Portfolio Posts',
'view_item' => 'View Portfolio Post',
);
$args_portfolio = array(
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels_portfolio,
'menu_position' => 4,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'supports' => array( 'comments', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail', 'title' ),
'singular_label' => 'Portfolio',
);
register_post_type( 'portfolio-type', $args_portfolio );
}
add_action( 'init', 'justins_custom_post_types' );
// CUSTOM TAXONOMIES
function justins_custom_taxonomies() {
// Portfolio Categories
$labels = array(
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Category',
'all_items' => 'All Categories' ,
'edit_item' => 'Edit Category' ,
'name' => 'Portfolio Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ,
'new_item_name' => 'New Genre Category' ,
'menu_name' => 'Categories' ,
'parent_item' => 'Parent Category' ,
'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent Category:',
'singular_name' => 'Portfolio Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ,
'search_items' => 'Search Categories' ,
'update_item' => 'Update Category' ,
);
register_taxonomy( 'portfolio-category', array( 'portfolio-type' ), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'portfolio-type/category' ),
'show_ui' => true,
));
// Portfolio Tags
$labels = array(
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Tag' ,
'all_items' => 'All Tags' ,
'edit_item' => 'Edit Tag' ,
'menu_name' => 'Portfolio Tags' ,
'name' => 'Portfolio Tags', 'taxonomy general name' ,
'new_item_name' => 'New Genre Tag' ,
'parent_item' => 'Parent Tag' ,
'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent Tag:' ,
'singular_name' => 'Portfolio Tag', 'taxonomy singular name' ,
'search_items' => 'Search Tags' ,
'update_item' => 'Update Tag' ,
);
register_taxonomy( 'portfolio-tags', array( 'portfolio-type' ), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'portfolio-type/tag' ),
'show_ui' => true,
));
}
Reference URL to the theme’s portfolio section: http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/4-columns-portfolio/ (No problems with this one)
Single item: http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/portfolio-type/summer-time/ (/portfolio-type/ added in URL)
I would also like to mention that the theme consists of a single-portfolio-type.php file.
Thank you.
Maybe this will do what you want:
It will redirect this:
http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/portfolio-type/summer-time/
To this:
http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/showcase/summer-time/
If it is the other way around, which I think it is:
It will map silently this incoming URL::
http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/showcase/summer-time/
To this:
http://html.orange-idea.com/commander/portfolio-type/summer-time/
