Custom Taxonomy + Custom Post Type in Wordpress Permalinks ?

Question

Is it possible to get a Wordpress URL to look like this:

/%post-type%/%custom-taxonomy%/%postname%/

I can get everything but the middle. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You should create custom URLs at the functions.php file, like this:

  <?php

  function mytheme_flushRoutes()
  {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
  }

  function mytheme_queryVars($vars)
  {
    array_push($vars, 'mycustom');
    return $vars;
  }

  function mytheme_routes($rules)
  {
    $newrules = array();

    $newrules['([^/]+)/([^/]+)$'] = 'index.php?pagename=$matches[2]&mycustom=$matches[1]';

    return $newrules + $rules;
  }

  add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'mytheme_routes');
  add_filter('query_vars', 'mytheme_queryVars');

  add_filter('query_vars', 'mytheme_flushRoutes');

  ?>

Replace "mycustom" with your own custom taxonomy.

Note that the flushRoutes function may be used only once, then you can remove it from the init filter for a best performance.

After this, you can call it on a wp_query like this:

<?php
global $query_string;

$mycustom = get_query_var('mycustom');

query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=10&orderby=date&meta_key=_mycustom&meta_value='.$mycustom);
?>

Also, you may need to create a filter for generating the permalinks, using the post_link filter.

It's a little complicated, but if you really need to, it's worth it :)

Hope it helps.
