Custom Post Type Taxonomy Permalinks [closed]

Question

I am having a very specific issue on permalinks. I have a custom post type and a taxonomy. Using the function below sorted out the correct structure of the taxonomy permalinks.

    function phototype_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename){
        if (get_option('permalink_structure') != ''){
            $post = get_post($post_id);
            $rewritecode = array(
                '%postname%'
            );
            if (strpos($permalink, '%postname%') !== FALSE){   
                $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'phototype');  
                if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0])) $phototype = $terms[0]->slug;
                else $phototype = '';
            }
            $rewritereplace = array(
                $phototype
            );
            $permalink = str_replace($rewritecode, $rewritereplace, $permalink);
        } 
        return $permalink;
    }

add_filter('post_type_link', 'phototype_permalink', 1, 3);  

then adding this to args:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => '%postname%'),

Regular posts also fit themselves to the new structure. However I am getting 404 error on pages. The wierdest thing is that I am not getting this error on pages with parents.

For ex: I am getting 404 error here: domain.com/products-page/ and here not: domain.com/products-page/your-account/

Any idea?

Answer 1

Try adding 'with_front' => true or 'with_front' => false to your $args array after the slug. I had an issue with permalinks for a custom post type 404-ing yesterday and this solved it. Good luck!

You can try flush your rewrite rules:

From WordPress Codex the description is:

"This method can be used to refresh WordPress' rewrite rule cache. Generally, this should be used after programmatically adding one or more custom rewrite rules."

Add to your functions.php and run once:

//Ensure the $wp_rewrite global is loaded
global $wp_rewrite;
//Call flush_rules() as a method of the $wp_rewrite object
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
