Custom post type and taxonomy permalinks

Question

I have a custom post type 'news' and a taxonomy 'category-news'. I would like to get this permalinks:

    www.domain.com/news -------------> list of all news
    www.domain.com/news/sport -------> list of all sport news
    www.domain.com/news/sport/post --> the post
    www.domain.com/news/2014 --------> list of all news of year 2014
    www.domain.com/news/sport/2014 --> list of all sport news of year 2014
    www.domain.com/news/page/2 ------> second page of pagination news
    www.domain.com/news/sport/page/2 -> second page of pagination sport news

is it posible? How can I do it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is some code I've cooked up based on some code I've already been working on. My original code works okay, however I haven't tested this code because I haven't seen your code. Here is what you need to do:

1. on your post type definition, set the rewrite argument to false

2. Put the following code after your post type code:

   //Create Permalink for news posts
   function wpse136458_create_permalink( $permalink, $post, $leavename, $sample ) {        
       $rewritecode = array(
           '%year%',
           '%monthnum%',
           '%day%',
           '%hour%',
           '%minute%',
           '%second%',
           $leavename? '' : '%postname%',
           '%post_id%',
           '%category%',
           '%author%',
           $leavename? '' : '%pagename%',
           '%category-news%'
           //Add custom permalink tags here
       );
       if ( '' != $permalink && !in_array($post->post_status, array('draft', 'pending', 'auto-draft')) ) {
           $unixtime = strtotime($post->post_date);
   
           $category = '';
           if ( strpos($permalink, '%category%') !== false ) {
               $cats = get_the_category($post->ID);
               if ( $cats ) {
                   usort($cats, '_usort_terms_by_ID'); // order by ID
                   $category = $cats[0]->slug;
                   if ( $parent = $cats[0]->parent )
                       $category = get_category_parents($parent, false, '/', true) . $category;
               }
               // show default category in permalinks, without
               // having to assign it explicitly
               if ( empty($category) ) {
                   $default_category = get_category( get_option( 'default_category' ) );
                   $category = is_wp_error( $default_category ) ? '' : $default_category->slug;
               }
           }
   
           $author = '';
           if ( strpos($permalink, '%author%') !== false ) {
               $authordata = get_userdata($post->post_author);
               $author = $authordata->user_nicename;
           }
   
           $date = explode(" ",date('Y m d H i s', $unixtime));
   
           $cat_news = '';
           if ( strpos($permalink, '%category-news%') !== false ) {

I'll post an in depth explanation after work. Let me know if it works for you

EDIT: Okay, here is the basic rundown: wpse136458_rewrite_api is the heart of how this works. It basically creates an array of permalink structures made from rewrite tags that follow the rules you specified, then creates the rewrite rules from those structures, using the helper functions struct_to_query (creates the query string) and struct_to_regex (creates the regex). The first line of the function, which I just added, creates a rewrite tag for your category-news taxonomy and the last line that calls add_permastructcreates a permastruct that WP uses for specific news posts.

wpse136458_create_permalink is a callback to the post-type_link filter that takes that news permalink and fills it in with the right data, like the category and the postname

Answer 2

You can do this permalink by simply getting a plugin or just using a sample theme which is created to explain about custom post permalink structure and parameters.

many sample codes i tried, but none helped me to solve the issue of setting s permalink for my custom post types, i just used the custom post type permalink plugin , later come to know the custom post type theme.

This may help you.
