Different Slug for archive and single property

As this is a WordPress custom post type then you need to use the same slug as far as I am aware. But instead of using the /commercial/ slug just create a page and use a shortcode, eg call the page:

Commercial For Lease (slug would be) /commercial-for-lease/

Shortcode to use is the [listing_category] Shortcode.

[listing_category commercial_listing_type=lease status=current]

Ok, understood the workaround.

But, let me point out that in WP you can have different slugs for archive and for single.

In register_post_type args you can specify both:

'rewrite' = array(
    'slug' => 'property',
    'with_front' => false,
    'pages' => true,
    'feeds' => false,
),
'has_archive' => 'properties',

the “slug” in rewrite array is the slug of single posts

the string in “has_archive” is the slug of the archive

Ah in that case you can use the epl_property_post_type_args filter to alter the defaults.

And i did not know that so thanks. I thought it was a true/false value but its also a string… ??

WordPress register_post_type()

The EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE constant will let you change that value

(as we thought it was true/false the constant name could be better bout you can still use it:

How to modify the custom post type slugs for each listing type for localisation or other names

define( EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE, 'my-new-slug' );

hmmm, doesn’t seem to work…? Ah our code is only supporting true/false

Our code is written like this. Will add this as a feature request

$archives = defined( 'EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE' ) && EPL_PROPERTY_DISABLE_ARCHIVE ? false : true;

GitIssue: https://github.com/easypropertylistings/Easy-Property-Listings/issues/1053

What you can do in the meantime is use the filter epl_property_post_type_args

You can replace the has_archive using that filter e.g.

function my_epl_property_post_type_args( $array ) {
	
	$array['has_archive'] = 'properties';
	
	return $array;
	
}
add_filter( 'epl_property_post_type_args', 'my_epl_property_post_type_args' );

And this solution makes the feature request redundant

Yes, actually I’ve already been doing with the epl_property_post_type_args filter, for the very reason you pointed out.

But I don’t think the feature request is redundant, defining the constant would be easier for most users.

thanks anyway for the quick support!
