Permalink issue with custom post types

  • Dear all,

    Firstly the custom post types work perfectly. Regular pages however only work when the permalink setting is /archive/%post_id%/ (‘archive’ can be replaced with anything)

    I solely wish to use /%post_id%, however, this results in a 404 error for pages only, custom post types are unaffected.

    example:
    With permalinks set to /archive/%post_id%:
    https://www.sitename.com/landing works perfect, along with the rest of the site

    With permalinks set to /%post_id%:
    All pages, including https://www.sitename.com/building result in 404 error. Custom post types however (example url: https://www.sitename.com/building/house/fifth_street are unaffected.

    I am using custom post types and custom taxonomies and I have a feeling this may be affecting.

    I would also like to use custom taxonomy terms in the rewrite rules.

    Any solutions for either problems?

    Thanks

  • Just /%postname%/ does not work in all installations, that page problem is exactly whey. Custom post types get a ‘label’ that is used in the permalink. I use /%post_id%/%postname%/ which results in /1/firstpost for normal posts and /blog/firstpost for custom post types.
    Perhaps this information is of some help.

    Thanks for the reply Roy! Good to know its not just an isolated case.

    I’ll go down your route and try and modify the permalink with some hooks/filters.

    /%post_id%/%postname%/ results in 404. Any ideas what I can do?
