I need make a wordpress cite with all the states and cities WordPress

Dbranes answers:

Here's one simple idea if you don't want to write a single line of PHP code or modify your theme files:

To get a SEO friendly url structure like:

example.com/solavei/kentucky/wellington


you can just create a page tree for your states and cities.

You could also create a hierarchical custom post type for this, using a plugin like this [[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/"]]one[[/LINK]].


To display the list of cities for each state, you can, for example, use a shortcode in the page content.

Here's one plugin that might help you with that:

[[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-pages-shortcode/"]]https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-pages-shortcode/[[/LINK]]

From the plugin description:

<blockquote>Introduces the [list-pages], [sibling-pages] and [child-pages] shortcodes for easily displaying a list of pages within a post or page.
</blockquote>

If you have some common text to display on your pages, you might consider a template plugin like this one:

[[LINK href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-template/"]]https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-post-template/[[/LINK]]

Notice that this setup doesn't need you to manually rewrite this nice url structure or setup special theme files.

This should also work on any theme as well.

But If you want to write some PHP code of your own, then here are some remarks on that:

If you have the same content in many pages, you can also create your own shortcode to make your life easier:

[wpq_content]

to display some common content.

Here's a demo plugin that you can use to setup your own shortcode to list pages:

[wpq_list_pages]

or

[wpq_list_pages depth="0" title="Cities"]


/**
* Plugin Name: WPQ shortcode [wpq_list_pages]
* Plugin URI: http://www.wpquestions.com/question/showChronoLoggedIn/id/9738
* Author: dbranes
* Version: 0.0.1
*/

add_shortcode( 'wpq_list_pages', 'wpq_list_pages' );

function wpq_list_pages( $atts = array(), $content = '' ) {

if( is_page() )
{
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
'depth' => '0',
'title' => ''
), $atts, 'wpq_list_pages' );

$args = array(
'depth' => intval( $atts['depth'] ),
'echo' => 0,
'title_li' => esc_attr( $atts['title'] ),
'sort_column' => 'menu_order, post_title',
'child_of' => get_queried_object_id(),
);
$html = '<ul class="wpq-pages">';
$html .= wp_list_pages( $args );
$html .= '</ul>';

return $html;
}
}



You can also use a filter, like [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/the_content"]]the_content()[[/LINK]], to inject HTML code into the content pages, to make life easier.

One could also write a small snippet using [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post"]]wp_insert_post()[[/LINK]] to automatically create the state/city page tree.
