How to rewrite permalinks for a custom posttype and custom taxonomy?
I have a custom taxonomy: region, and a custom posttype: business.
Now, how to rewrite the permalink, so that
-
for a category, the fixed “category” part is replaced with the custom taxonomy term:
/%region%/%category%/
-
for a business:
/%region%/%category%/%business%/
I’m stuck with this. However, I did manage to rewrite the permalink for a region to /%region%/
:
add_action( 'init', 'region_init' );
function region_init() {
// set labels
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Regions', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Region', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Regions' ),
'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Regions' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Regions' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Region' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Region:' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Region' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Region' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Region' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Region Name' )
);
// create a new taxonomy
register_taxonomy(
'region',
'business',
array(
'labels' => $labels,
'label' => __('Region'),
'sort' => true,
'args' => array('orderby' => 'term_order'),
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => '', 'with_front' => false )
)
);
}
add_action('init', 'my_rewrite');
function my_rewrite() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('typename', 'typename/%year%/%postname%/', true, 1);
add_rewrite_rule('typename/([0-9]{4})/(.+)/?$', 'index.php?typename=$matches[2]', 'top');
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); // !!!
}
The Custom Post Permalinks (WordPress Plugin) from John P. Bloch did the trick for me. Great /flexible plugin!
