I'm workin on new webiste and I got stuck :(

Basically I've created a custom post type for products with custom fields etc.

Each product has a main category and subcategory - selected from 

<select>
<option value="category1">category 1</option>
<option value="category2">category 2</option>
</select>

<select>
<option value="subcategory1">subcategory 1</option>
<option value="subcategory1">subcategory 2</option>
</select>

inside editor.

The subcategory is based on category.

What I'm trying to achieve is to get permalinks based on both: category and subcategory fe.

domain.com/products/category2/subcategory1/product

Any ideas how to achieve this?

  • You don't have to write "The subcategory is based on category." What URL structure you are getting when you view product?

Look at the filter for rewrite_rules_array and add a re-write rule to re-write /products/category-name/sub-category-name/product-name to index.php?pagename=product-name. You might need to grab the category-name and sub-category-name too if your product-names are not unique.

Then add a query var for product-name using the query_vars filter.

Once you've done that in your new post type template you can just access the product-name query var (and the others) using get_query_var. And display the correct record.

Without coding the answer for you that's and outline of how I've done exactly what you're trying to do.

  • You don't know what the query vars are when the re-write rules are added. You only know when the page (or post) is generated. The rewrite rule should be something like this: array('produkty/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$' => 'index.php?pagename=$matches[3]&product_category=$matches[1]&product_sub_category=$matches[1]
