Custom Post Type with Custom URLs

  • Hey everyone,

    I have 3 custom post types setup and I have created a custom permalink structure for each. The problem I am having is that the third custom post type I have setup with the custom permalink, is being used for the previous 2.

    Example:

    • Classified
    • Employment
    • Sponsorship

    The above are the post types and I have the custom permalink structure set to (for each): /post_type/post_id/

    Now, The above order are the order they are set in and sponsorship takes over all of them. So for instance:

    • /classified/100/
    • /employment/101/
    • /sponsorship/102/

    The above all use the permalink:

    • /sponsorship/100/
    • /sponsorship/101/
    • /sponsorship/102/

    What am I doing wrong to get this error happening? Is it a permalink structure error? below is my code I am using to create the custom permalink structures for each. The only difference is that %c_id% is changed to %e_id% and %s_id% for classifieds, employment and sponsorship. And also any reference to ‘classifieds’ is changed to employment and sponsorship respectively.

    add_action('init', 'classifieds_rewrite');
function classifieds_rewrite() {
    global $wp_rewrite;

    $queryarg = 'post_type=classifieds&p=';
    $wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%c_id%', '([^/]+)', $queryarg);
    $wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('classifieds', '/classifieds/%c_id%/', false);
}

add_filter('post_type_link', 'classifieds_permalink', 1, 3);
function classifieds_permalink($post_link, $id = 0) {
    global $wp_rewrite;
    $post = &get_post($id);
    if ( is_wp_error( $post ) )
        return $post;
    $newlink = $wp_rewrite->get_extra_permastruct('classifieds');
    $newlink = str_replace("%c_id%", $post->ID, $newlink);
    $newlink = home_url(user_trailingslashit($newlink));
    return $newlink;
}

    Also, it’s not that it is breaking, it works fine, goes to the pages, e.g. classifieds/101/ etc… But the get_permalink() function call and where it thinks it is, is: sponsorship/101/

    Thanks for the help! ??

    OK so the below code has now worked for my problem above. Hopefully this helps for someone else ??

    This is the option in the register_post_type

    'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'post_type/%post_id%', 'with_front' => false)

    And the code that worked for it

    add_filter('post_type_link', 'post_type_link', 1, 3);
function post_type_link( $post_link, $post = 0, $leavename = false ) {

	if ( strpos('%post_id%', $post_link) === 'false' ) {
		return $post_link;
	}
	if ( is_object($post) ) {
		$post_id = $post->ID;
	} else {
		$post_id = $post;
		$post = get_post($post_id);
	}
	if ( !is_object($post) || $post->post_type != 'your_custom_post_type' ) {
		return $post_link;
	}

  	//put post ID in place of %post_id%
	return str_replace('%post_id%', $post_id, $post_link);

}
