Wordpress post-type create url rewriting

Question

i create a new post-type in wordpress. The new post-type is called work.

I want to customize the link when the user click "details button". The link is work/post_id/postname

I have a trouble to connect the link to a details page. The details page is called single-work.php In my functions.php I write these rules:

add_action( 'init', 'wpse26388_rewrites_init' );
    function wpse26388_rewrites_init(){
    add_rewrite_rule( "work/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)?$", "single-work.php", 'top' );
 }

But there is a trouble because when the user click the link, he sees the index.php and not single-work.php. How can I fix that?

Answer 1

You don't need a URL rewrite. WP will show the single work post by default using the single-work.php template.

Go to Settings > Permalinks and select Custom Structure there. Put this rule in the text input:

/%post_id%/%postname%

And save the settings.

This should work for you.
