There will be a lot of code blocks below, but here's the short version:
On a site, I have a Resources custom post type, with a Resource Types taxonomy.
The URL for a Resource Type post archive is: http://www.example.com/resources/articles/
The URL for a Resource post, with the Articles taxonomy term checked is: http://www.example.com/resources/articles/[MY-POST-TITLE-HERE]/
This is all working great now.
The blog landing page (set in the Reading settings) is a page called "blog" that is a child of a page called "resources". I have my permalink settings set to Custom Structure with /resources/blog/%postname%/ in the field.
When I go to the Blog list page, I go to the desired URL (http://www.example.com/resources/blog/) but I get a 404 page, and if I view a blog post I also get the desired URL (http://www.example.com/resources/blog/[MY-POST-TITLE-HERE]/) but I also get a 404. Category pages return the correct URL, without a 404.
I'm unsure how to resolve this.
Here is all of the relevant code that pertains to URL rewriting for the Resources section of the site:
Register Resource Type Taxonomy
//Register Resource Type Taxonomy
add_action( 'init', 'register_taxonomy_resource_types' );
function register_taxonomy_resource_types() {
$resource_slug = "/" . get_page_uri( constant('resourceLandingID') );
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Resource Types', 'resource_types' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'search_items' => _x( 'Search Resource Types', 'resource_types' ),
'popular_items' => _x( 'Popular Resource Types', 'resource_types' ),
'all_items' => _x( 'All Resource Types', 'resource_types' ),
'parent_item' => _x( 'Parent Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Resource Type:', 'resource_types' ),
'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'update_item' => _x( 'Update Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'new_item_name' => _x( 'New Resource Type', 'resource_types' ),
'separate_items_with_commas' => _x( 'Separate resource types with commas', 'resource_types' ),
'add_or_remove_items' => _x( 'Add or remove resource types', 'resource_types' ),
'choose_from_most_used' => _x( 'Choose from the most used resource types', 'resource_types' ),
'menu_name' => _x( 'Resource Types', 'resource_types' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => false,
'show_admin_column' => false,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => '/resources',
'with_front' => false
),
'query_var' => true
);
register_taxonomy( 'resource_types', array('resources'), $args );
}
Register Resource Custom Post Type
//Register Resources post type
add_action( 'init', 'register_cpt_resources' );
//$resource_slug = "/" . get_page_uri( constant('resourceLandingID') );
function register_cpt_resources() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Resources', 'resources' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Resources', 'resources' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'resources' ),
'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New Resources', 'resources' ),
'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit Resources', 'resources' ),
'new_item' => _x( 'New Resources', 'resources' ),
'view_item' => _x( 'View Resources', 'resources' ),
'search_items' => _x( 'Search Resources', 'resources' ),
'not_found' => _x( 'No resources found', 'resources' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'No resources found in Trash', 'resources' ),
'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Resources:', 'resources' ),
'menu_name' => _x( 'Resources', 'resources' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => false,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt' ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'resource_types', 'resource_tags' ),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'menu_position' => 20,
'show_in_nav_menus' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'has_archive' => false,
'query_var' => true,
'can_export' => true,
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => '/resources/%resource_types%',
'with_front' => false
),
'capability_type' => 'post'
);
register_post_type( 'resources', $args );
}
In my functions file, I have this function that runs to add Resource Type term to the permalink of the Resource post type posts.
Resource Type Term added to Permalink
add_filter('post_type_link', 'projectcategory_permalink_structure', 10, 4);
function projectcategory_permalink_structure($post_link, $post, $leavename, $sample) {
if (false !== strpos($post_link, '%resource_types%')) {
$projectscategory_type_term = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'resource_types');
if (!empty($projectscategory_type_term))
$post_link = str_replace('%resource_types%', array_pop($projectscategory_type_term)->
slug, $post_link);
else
$post_link = str_replace('%resource_types%', 'uncategorized', $post_link);
}
return $post_link;
}
So again, the entire Resources section works great. It's just the Blog list page (child of Resources) and the individual blog posts that return a 404.
