Hi,
register_post_type function build permalink with slug/post_type structure.
so setting slug to ” will not help.
WP need to know post type from query to show post.
You can try hook some of query parsing actions/filters, check by post slug thats your custom post and add query param post_type to wp query before it will get post from db.
Thanks 🙂
I’ve solved it.
This works, but I had to re-update the permalinks config to see the effect.
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Aggressivex Network Custom Post
Version: 1.0
Author: Luis Muñoz
Author URI: http://www.aggressivex.com/author/luis.munoz/
*/
class AN_custom_post
{
var $post_type_name = 'product';
var $post_type_label = 'Products';
function __construct()
{
add_action('init', array(&$this,'register_post'));
}
function register_post()
{
register_post_type($this->post_type,
array(
'label' => $this->post_type_label,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array(
'slug' => '',
'with_front' => true
),
'hierarchical' => true,
'supports' => array(
'title',
'editor',
'custom-fields'
),
)
);
}
}
new AN_custom_post();
that’s really neat! if i set the permalinks to /%postname%/ then it goes http://www.mysite.com/product1 woo. wish WP could automatically take the page-style permalinks so that blogs could maintain dates, but still that is a very cool work-around.
Sometimes it doesn’t work unless you update your permalinks under settings > permalinks > Save Changes (Even if you didnt make any changes to the permalink in that page) it refresh the mod rewrite and get your new permalinks
This seems to work:
'rewrite' => array('slug' => '/')
Output: example.com/headline/
Slug removed—no extra slashes.
Remember to flush as mentioned by @winningsem
It doesn’t seem to work for WordPress 3.2.1…
I get 404 if I put '/' to the slug in 3.2.1, how to do this now then?
@ciantic
have you tried to update permalinks after adding the / ?
it worked for me doing that.
The strange thing is un my virtual server I it worked directly, without having to do it.
Don’t ask me why 🙂
well, pages screw up with the / …:(
@ciantic Yea you definitely need to flush the permalinks. To do that just go Setting » Permalinks and then try the page again. You don’t need to actually change anything on the Permalinks settings. Just going in there will flush them.
@synthview Screw up how? I just tested this again with a current version of WP and it works no problem. Here is a live example I just put up from work.
Actually I stand corrected. It blows sh** up LOL. The CPT worked but it seems to screw up some other things like the normal pages and the author pages. If you don’t want a slug my best suggestion for now is just to pick something really short as the slug or maybe an underscore. I think a slug is good anyway for users. If you’re getting 404s just change the slug and flush the permalinks again.
