About changing the permalink structure

    Hi,

    I read your tutorial on changing the job’s permalink, but I can’t figure out how to do this (sorry, I know nothing about php). I’d like job_listing_category and job_listing_region to show in the URL before the listing name. I added the following to my functions.php, the job region shows in the URL but the job category doesn’t:

    function job_listing_post_type_link( $permalink, $post ) {
    // Abort if post is not a job
    if ( $post->post_type !== 'job_listing' )
    	return $permalink;

    // Abort early if the placeholder rewrite tag isn't in the generated URL
    if ( false === strpos( $permalink, '%' ) )
    	return $permalink;

    // Get the custom taxonomy terms in use by this post
	$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'job_listing_category' );
	$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'job_listing_region' );

	if ( empty( $terms ) ) {
		// If no terms are assigned to this post, use a string instead (can't leave the placeholder there)
		$job_listing_category = _x( 'uncat', 'slug' );
	} else {
		// Replace the placeholder rewrite tag with the first term's slug
		$first_term = array_shift( $terms );
		$job_listing_category = $first_term->slug;
	}

    $find = array(
    	'%category%'
    );

    $replace = array(
    	$job_listing_category
    );

    $replace = array_map( 'sanitize_title', $replace );

    $permalink = str_replace( $find, $replace, $permalink );

    return $permalink;
}
add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'job_listing_post_type_link', 10, 2 );

function change_job_listing_slug( $args ) {
  $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'job/%category%';
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_job_listing', 'change_job_listing_slug' );

    What am I doing wrong?

    Basically, the url structure should be: mywebsite.com/jobs/job_listing_region/job_listing_category/name

    Hey Andy,

    You’d first want to add the region to the slug structure:

    function change_job_listing_slug( $args ) {
  $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'job/%region%/%category%';
  return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_job_listing', 'change_job_listing_slug' );

    You can then try another filter on ‘post_type_link’ similar to the category one here:
    – https://wpjobmanager.com/document/tutorial-changing-the-job-slugpermalink/#section-4

    1. Instead of job_listing_category us job_listing_region
    2. Instead of searching for %category% us %region%

    I’m not sure what / if any rewrite rule issues you’d run into if any with this structure though but hope this helps point you in the right direction.

    Kind Regards,
    Scott

    I’m having no luck doing this – I’m not sure if its a WP issue. Using %category% for the replacement works, but anything else breaks.

    If you can do without both region and category, just swap out job_listing_category with job_listing_region in the original snippet.
