Custom post type and permalinks WordPress

Gabriel Merovingi answers:

Hi. I would put it together like this:


add_action( 'init', 'theme_init' );
function theme_init()
{
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Guides', 'post type general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Guide', 'post type singular name' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'guide' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Guide' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Guide' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Guide' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Guide' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Guides' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No guides found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No guides found in the trash' ),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'description' => 'Optional Description',
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( "slug" => "guide" ),
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => 4,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'author' )
);
register_post_type( 'guide', $args );

$guide_category_labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Clients', 'taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Client', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search clients' ),
'popular_items' => __( 'Popular clients' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Clients' ),
'parent_item' => null,
'parent_item_colon' => null,
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Client' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Client' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Client' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Client' ),
'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Separate clients with commas' ),
'add_or_remove_items' => __( 'Add or remove client' ),
'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most common clients' )
);
register_taxonomy( 'guide-categories', array( 'guide' ), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $guide_category_labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count'
}
}


This would go into your functions.php

try to add this to your functions.php


add_action('init', 'create_post_type');
function create_post_type()
{
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Guide', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Guide', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'guide'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Guide'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Guide'),
'new_item' => __('New Guide'),
'all_items' => __('All Guide'),
'view_item' => __('View Guide'),
'search_items' => __('Search Guide'),
'not_found' => __('No guide found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('No guide found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'menu_name' => 'Guide'
);

$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'guide'),
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array('title','editor','author','thumbnail','excerpt','comments')
);
register_post_type('guide', $args);
}

//hook into the init action and call create_book_taxonomies when it fires
add_action( 'init', 'create_guide_taxonomies', 0 );

//create two taxonomies, genres and writers for the post type "book"
function create_guide_taxonomies()
{
// Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Guide Categories', 'Taxonomy general name' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Guide Category', 'Taxonomy singular name' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Guide Categories' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Guide Categories' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Guide Categories' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Guide Categories:' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Guide Categories' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Guide Categories' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Guide Categories' ),
'new_item_name' => __( 'New Guide Categories Name' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Guide Categories' ),
);

register_taxonomy('guide_gategories' ,array('guide'), array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => $labels,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
));
}

Hope this works!

Doing this turns out to be slightly more complicated than you might think. I came up with the following solution, which works:


add_action('init', 'wpq_register_post_types');
add_filter('post_type_link', 'wpq_permalinks', 10, 3);


function wpq_register_post_types()
{
// Register the post type

$guide_labels = array(
'name' => 'Guides',
'singular_name' => 'Guide',
'add_new' => 'Add New',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Guide',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Guide',
'new_item' => 'New Guide',
'view_item' => 'View Guide',
'search_items' => 'Search Guides',
'not_found' => 'No guides found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No guides found in trash'
);

register_post_type('guide',
array(
'labels' => $guide_labels,
'query_var' => 'guide',
'rewrite' => false,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => false,
'public' => true
)
);


// Register the taxonomy

$guide_category_labels = array(
'name' => 'Guide categories',
'singular_name' => 'Guide category',
'search_items' => 'Search guide categories',
'popular_items' => 'Popular guide categories',
'all_items' => 'All guide categories',
'edit_item' => 'Edit guide category',
'update_item' => 'Update guide category',
'add_new_item' => 'Add new guide category',
'new_item_name' => 'New guide category',
'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate categories with commas',
'add_or_remove_items' => 'Add or remove guide category',
'choose_from_most_used' => 'Choose from most used guide categories'
);


register_taxonomy('guide-categories', 'guide',
array
(
'labels' => $guide_category_labels,
'hierarchical' => true,
'query_var' => 'guide_category',
'rewrite' => false
)
);


// Register custom rewrite rules

global $wp_rewrite;

$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%guide%', '([^/]+)', 'guide=');
$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%guide_category%', '([^/]+)', 'guide_category=');

$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('guide-categories', '/guide/%guide_category%', false, EP_CATEGORIES);
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('guide', '/guide/%guide_category%/%guide%', false);
}


function wpq_permalinks($permalink, $post_id, $leavename)
{
$no_terms = 'no-category';

$post = get_post($post_id);

if($post->post_type != 'guide' || empty($permalink) || in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft')))
return $permalink;

$terms = wp_get_object_terms((int)$post->ID, 'guide-categories');

if(is_wp_error($terms) || empty($terms))
{
$term_slug = $no_terms;
} else
{
$term = reset($terms);

if(is_object($term))
$term_slug = $term->slug;
else
$term_slug = $no_terms;
}

$permalink = str_replace('%guide_category%', $term_slug, $permalink);

return $permalink;
}


If it doesn't work right away, go to the WP admin and visit the page Settings -> Permalinks.
