So, I've been banging my head against this problem all day so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else can point me at a good resource.

 

I've created a custom post type "portfolio" that takes two custom taxonomies, "portfolio-category" (hierarchical, like normal categories) and "portfolio-skills" (non-hierarchical, like tags). All this works fine.

 

I use a custom permalink structure of /%category%/%postname% for my blog, and I'd like to achieve the same for my portfolio, but at the moment it's defaulting to /portfolio/%postname%/ - I've tried hooking into the rewrites every which way but I can't seem to get it to include the portfolio-category slug in the portfolio item permalink.

 

Any ideas, folks? Anyone written a definitive guide to WordPress rewrites?

 

 

PS: I don't need anyone to say "use this plugin" - I'm moving AWAY from a plugin for my portfolio and coding it all into my theme because I run too many plugins as it is.

Can you post your register_taxonomy() function?

Can you post your register_taxonomy() function?

 

register_taxonomy(
		'portfolio-category',
		'portfolio', array(
		'label' => 'Portfolio Categories',
		'singular_label' => 'Portfolio Category',
		'hierarchical' => true,
		'query_var' => 'portfolio-category',
		'rewrite' => true,
		'public' => true,
		'show_ui' => true
		)
	);

 

I'm probably missing something really simple, but it's been a long day.

Try changing the rewrite line to:

 

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio/category')

Tried that earlier; it affects the taxonomy slug but not the post type.

 

Ok, got a bit further.

 

Setting the slugs this way:

 

Post type:

 

'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio/%portfolio-category%')

 

And adding the following function:

 

function filter_post_type_link($link, $post)
{
   if ($post->post_type != 'portfolio') {
       return $link;
}
   if ($cats = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio-category')) {
       $link = str_replace('%portfolio-category%', array_pop($cats)->slug, $link);
    return $link;
}

}
add_filter('post_type_link', 'filter_post_type_link', 10, 2);

 

That adds the category to the post slug, but the category and portfolio index are still Donald Ducked.

Right, for anyone else who has this problem, here's how I solved it. This method requires a page with the slug "portfolio" to act as a placeholder, similar to the setting to use a static front page and a blog page.

 

add_action('init', 'portfolio_register');
add_filter('post_type_link', 'filter_post_type_link', 10, 2);

function portfolio_register() {

$labels = array(
	'name' => _x('Portfolio', 'post type general name'),
	'singular_name' => _x('Portfolio Piece', 'post type singular name'),
	'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'portfolio piece'),
	'add_new_item' => __('Add New Portfolio Piece'),
	'edit_item' => __('Edit Portfolio Piece'),
	'new_item' => __('New Portfolio Piece'),
	'view_item' => __('View Portfolio Piece'),
	'search_items' => __('Search Portfolio'),
	'not_found' =>  __('Nothing found'),
	'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
	'parent_item_colon' => ''
);

$args = array(
	'labels' => $labels,
	'public' => true,
	'publicly_queryable' => true,
	'show_ui' => true,
	'query_var' => true,
	'menu_icon' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/portfolio.png',
	'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio/%portfolio-category%'),
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'hierarchical' => false,
	'menu_position' => null,
	'show_in_nav_menus' => false,
	'supports' => array('thumbnail','title','editor')
  );

register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
}

register_taxonomy(
		'portfolio-category',
		'portfolio', array(
		'label' => 'Portfolio Categories',
		'singular_label' => 'Portfolio Category',
		'hierarchical' => true,
		'query_var' => 'portfolio-category',
		'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'portfolio'),
		'public' => true,
		'show_ui' => true
		)
	);

function filter_post_type_link($link, $post)
{
   if ($post->post_type != 'portfolio') {
       return $link;
}
   if ($cats = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio-category')) {
       $link = str_replace('%portfolio-category%', array_pop($cats)->slug, $link);
    return $link;
}
}

 

That was a lot harder than it should have been.

All that work just to get some custom URL's? Glad I don't use WP that often

I was dog-tired yesterday. Kept making really stupid errors and not noticing for half an hour.
