Possible to do the following…

  • Ok I am wondering if it’s possible to do the following two things…

    Firstly, within the permalinks, Event (Single) is set out as follows events/[event_slug], is it possible to have events/[venue_slug]/[event_slug]. Tried it, and it just strips out the shortcode for the venue slug.

    Secondly, how would I go about adding an extra page for the venue? So I could have a link on taxonomy-event-venue.php, taxonomy-event-venue-info.php (for example) where it listed address, map, and a comments section. Is this possible? So .com/events/venues/[venue_slug]/info

    Any help on either is much appreciated.

    So you can use %event-venue% or %event-category% in the url structure, and then you’ll find yoursite.com/events/my-venue/my-event works as the url.

    But that’s only half of it. Custom taxonomies (unlike WordPress’ tags and categories) do not work automatically in permalinks. Basically WordPress will tell you an event’s permalink is yoursite.com/events/%event-venue%/my-event not yoursite.com/events/my-venue/my-event – even though the latter works. You have to tell it: see this post https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/28922/custom-taxonomy-url (you just need to replace %event-venue% with the event’s venue via the post_type_link – %division% in their example). The taxonomy is event-venue in this case.

    Adding an extra page for venues is entirely possible – but I would avoid using taxonomy-event-venue-info.php – as this conflicts with WordPress’ template hierarchy which intercepts that as the template for venue with slug info.

    To add a second page you would to:

    • Build a template for it (similar say, to taxonomy-event-venue.php
    • Add a rewrite url so WordPress can interprets to be a request for that page, for some particular venue. (You might find https://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/the-rewrite-api-the-basics/ useful). You might need to use a custom query variable to identify a request for your page.
    • Lastly, use template_include filter to select your custom template whenever the query is for that particular page (using the query variable to identify such queries)

    So, possible, but a bit involved :). Hopefully the above will point you in the right direction though.

    Thank you, that helps somewhat. Looks like I have quite a bit of work ahead of me :(!
