WordPress – Need consistent URLs for Custom Posts

3 Views

I have created a custom posts with the following code: 

// Our custom post type function
    function create_posttype() {

    register_post_type( 'tours',
    // CPT Options
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Tours' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Tour' )
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'tours'),
            'hierarchical' => true 
        )
    );
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype' );

function my_taxonomies_tours() {
  $labels = array(
    'name'              => _x( 'Tour Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),
    'singular_name'     => _x( 'Tour Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
    'search_items'      => __( 'Search Tour Categories' ),
    'all_items'         => __( 'All Tour Categories' ),
    'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent Tour Category' ),
    'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Tour Category:' ),
    'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit Tour Category' ), 
    'update_item'       => __( 'Update Tour Category' ),
    'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add New Tour Category' ),
    'new_item_name'     => __( 'New Tour Category' ),
    'menu_name'         => __( 'Tour Categories' ),
  );
  $args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'hierarchical' => true,
    //'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'tours')
  );
  //register_taxonomy( 'tour_category', 'tours', $args );
  register_taxonomy( 'tour_category', 'tours', $args );
}

add_action( 'init', 'my_taxonomies_tours', 0 );

In my permalink settings I have setup:

Read More
http://mydomainname.com.au/%category%/%postname%/

I want to display the URLs like so:

display posts in categories 

http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/gbr/
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/whitehaven-tours/
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/day-tours/

Display posts 

http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/gbr/name-of-post
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/whitehaven-tours/name-of-post
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/day-tours/name-of-post

But I’m currently getting the following URLs:

display posts in categories 

http://mydomainname.com.au/tour_category/gbr/
http://mydomainname.com.au/tour_category/whitehaven-tours/
http://mydomainname.com.au/tour_category/day-tours/

Display posts 

http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/name-of-post
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/name-of-post
http://mydomainname.com.au/tours/name-of-post

I am not familiar enough with URL rewrites to make the necessary changes. I have read many articles but getting nowhere fast. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
