I have a custom post type "goal" setup. Regular posts are assigned to each goal, resulting in permalinks like http://example.com/credit/fix-my-credit/learn-how (format is %category%/%goal%/%postname%) where:
- category (slug) = 'credit'
- goal (slug) = 'fix-my-credit'
- post (slug) = 'learn-how'
The permalinks work for the most part. However, in the admin side, for example when editing a post the permalink is correct at the top of the edit page, but the "View Post" link in the top admin bar looks like http://example.com/credit/%goal%/learn-how. I see the same thing in links under recent comments on the admin dashboard. Setup:
Settings >> Permalink >> Custom Structure: /%category%/%goal%/%postname%/

Rewrite:
function custom_rewrite_basic() {
add_rewrite_rule(
'^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?',
'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&goal=$matches[2]&goal_article=$matches[3]',
'top'
);
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_basic');
Permalink filter:
function update_article_permalink( $permalink, $post_id ) {
global $post;
if ( get_post_type($post_id) === 'post' ) {
$the_goal = get_article_goal($post_id);
$post = get_post($post_id);
$post->post_name = sanitize_title($post->post_title);
$post_link = $permalink;
if (!empty($the_goal)) {
$goal_slug = $the_goal['slug'];
$post_link = str_replace( '%goal%', $goal_slug, $permalink );
} else {
$slug = $post->post_name;
$post_link = str_replace( '%goal%/', '', $permalink );
}
$permalink = $post_link;
}
if ( get_post_type($post_id) === 'goal' ) {
$categories = get_the_category($post_id);
if (count($categories) > 0){
$first_cat = $categories[0]->slug;
$permalink = preg_replace( '(\/goal\/)', '/'.$first_cat.'/', $permalink );
}
}
return $permalink;
}
add_filter( 'get_sample_permalink', 'update_article_permalink', 10, 2 );
What have I missed? How can I get %goal% replaced in all permalinks?
