Dynamic Custom Permalinks

3 Views

I have a scenario in which the intention is to make custom permalink that can be changed dynamically, for example:

How can I achieve that?

  1. It depends on what you mean by “changed dynamically”, but the simplest way to achieve what you’re talking about is to use pages (or a hierarchical custom post type), and make the “city-information” pages into children of the “country-information” page they are associated with. Then set permalinks to “Post Name”, and you’ll get the urls you’re looking for.

  2. Did you try add_rewrite_rule()? For example:

    add_action( 'init',  function() {
    add_rewrite_rule( 'country-information/([a-z0-9-]+)[/]?$', 'index.php?country-information=$matches[1]', 'top' );
} );

    After adding the new rule, you have to flush the permalink, Admin > Permalinks > Save

    Then add a new query var via add_filter, needed to allow custom rewrite rules using your own arguments to work, or any other custom query variables you want to be publicly available.

    add_filter( 'query_vars', function( $query_vars ) {
    $query_vars[] = 'country-information';
    return $query_vars;
} );

    You can also use a custom particular template for that permalink using template_include hook.

    function conutry_information_template( $template ) {
    if ( get_query_var( 'country-information' ) === false || get_query_var( 'country-information' ) == '' ) {
        return $template;
    }
 
    return get_template_directory() . '/country-information.php';
}
add_action( 'template_include', 'conutry_information_template' );
