Add this code in functions.php
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
//Initializing Rewrite Tags
add_rewrite_tag('%begin-date%', '([^&]+)');
add_rewrite_tag('%end-date%', '([^&]+)');
add_rewrite_tag('%offset%', '([^&]+)');
//Find page rewrite rules
add_rewrite_rule('^find/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?','index.php?page_id=<SEARCH_PAGE_ID>&begin-date=$matches[1]&end-date=$matches[2]&offset=$matches[3]','top');
add_rewrite_rule('^find/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?','index.php?page_id=<SEARCH_PAGE_ID>&begin-date=$matches[1]&end-date=$matches[2]','top');
flush_rewrite_rules();
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0);
On your custom search page template
$begin_date = get_query_var('begin-date');
$end_date = get_query_var('end-date');
$offset = get_query_var('offset') ? get_query_var('offset') : 1;
Create a page having slug find and apply a custom page template over it .. replace <SEARCH_PAGE_ID> with the newly created page ID and update the permalink structure!
Use these values in your custom query in the page template! :)
This code will render the URL as per your desired structure!
- mysite.com/find/begin-date/end-date
- mysite.com/find/begin-date/end-date/offset (if you need pagination to be enabled)
In case you want the second option .. you can simply use the following code over your find page template and everything will work!
$begin_date = $_GET['begin'];
$end_date = $_GET['end');
$offset = $_GET['page'] ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
- mysite.com/find?begin=2018-03-05&end=2018-03-10
- mysite.com/find?begin=2018-03-05&end=2018-03-10&page=2
