Set a posts URL to an archive page?

Could you provide a link so that I may fully understand what it is that you are trying to accomplish?

Hi jeremy,

For setting up redirection to respective archive page link, we can attach an action hook,

I have tried to create a function for your solution but I have not tested it, you can modify the function as per your requirement.

function search_filter($query) {
  if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
    if ($query->is_search && is_single('movie')) {
      $query->set('post_type_archive', array( 'movie_category' ) );
    }
  }
}

add_action('pre_get_posts','search_filter');

In the above code:
movie – custom post type
movie_category – custom post type taxonomy

Hope this solution would help, let me know if any more inputs are required from my end I will be happy to help.

Hi Aashish,

Thanks for that. What I think you’re doing is adjusting the search query, whereas what I wanted to do was to change the behaviour of the search results. However, you got me thinking that I could stick a filter on the permalink function like so…

function dino_link_permalink($url) {
	global $post;

	if ($post->post_type == 'simple_link') {
		$dinoterms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'simple_link_category' );

		return esc_url( '/simple_link_category/' .$dinoterms[0]->slug. '/' );
	} else {
		return esc_url( get_permalink() );
	}

}
add_filter('the_permalink', 'dino_link_permalink');

Which works great, with no need to create a search template. Gotta love these filters.

Many thanks.
