I have 4 Custom Post Types:
- Services
- FAQs
- Prices
- Before and After
I want to be able to have the same post names within each of these post types, example:
Services
Skin (example.com/Services/skin)
Cream
(example.com/Services/cream)
Body (example.com/Services/body)FAQs
Skin (example.com/FAQs/skin)
Cream
(example.com/FAQs/cream)
Body (example.com/FAQs/body)Prices
Skin (example.com/Prices/skin)
Cream
(example.com/Prices/cream)
Body (example.com/Prices/body)Before and After
Skin (example.com/before-and-after/skin)
Cream
(example.com/before-and-after/cream)
Body (example.com/before-and-after/body)
How can I do this? Right now if I make a new post with the same name as a current one, it adds a “-2” or “-3” to the end of the posts slug:
BAD:
example.com/services/body
example.com/faqs/body-2
example.com/prices/body-3
example.com/before-and-after/body-4
add_action('init', 'create_post_type_html5'); // Add our HTML5 Blank Custom Post Type
function create_post_type_html5()
{
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'html5-blank'); // Register Taxonomies for Category
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'html5-blank');
register_post_type('html5-blank', // Register Custom Post Type
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __('Services', 'html5blank'), // Rename these to suit
'singular_name' => __('Services', 'html5blank'),
'add_new' => __('Add New', 'html5blank'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Services', 'html5blank'),
'edit' => __('Edit', 'html5blank'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Services', 'html5blank'),
'new_item' => __('New Services', 'html5blank'),
'view' => __('View Services', 'html5blank'),
'view_item' => __('View Services', 'html5blank'),
'search_items' => __('Search Services', 'html5blank'),
'not_found' => __('No Servicess found', 'html5blank'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Service's found in Trash', 'html5blank')
),
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'service','with_front' => true),
'public' => true,
'hierarchical' => true, // Allows your posts to behave like Hierarchy Pages
'has_archive' => true,
'supports' => array(
'title',
'editor',
'excerpt',
'thumbnail'
), // Go to Dashboard Custom HTML5 Blank post for supports
'can_export' => true, // Allows export in Tools > Export
'taxonomies' => array(
'post_tag',
'category'
) // Add Category and Post Tags support
));
}
I was experiencing this problem as well; in my case this issue was resolved when a maximum of one post type is to
'hierarchical' => true
. The others need to be set to'hierarchical' => false
. After each adjustment I would refresh the permalink settings in Settings > Permalinks.This and this was the change that enabled the functionality for me; it may not be the only etting that contributed to this issue; I’d be curious to see whether this has effected others…
