To create custom permalinks with taxonomies and custom post types in WordPress, you’ll need to make sure you have the proper rewrite rules set up. Here’s a guide on how you can achieve this:
Register your custom post type: In your theme’s functions.php file (or in a custom plugin), use the register_post_type() function to register your custom post type. For example:
function create_book_post_type() {
$args = array(
'public' => true,
'label' => 'Books',
// Add more arguments as needed
);
register_post_type( 'books', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_book_post_type' );
Register your custom taxonomy: Similarly, register your custom taxonomy using the register_taxonomy() function. You can set the hierarchical parameter to true if your taxonomy is hierarchical. For example:
function create_book_taxonomy() {
$args = array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'label' => 'Arts',
// Add more arguments as needed
);
register_taxonomy( 'arts', 'books', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_book_taxonomy' );
Flush rewrite rules: After registering the post type and taxonomy, you’ll need to flush the rewrite rules so that WordPress recognizes the new URLs. You can do this by simply visiting the “Settings” > “Permalinks” page in your WordPress admin area and clicking the “Save Changes” button. This will regenerate the rewrite rules.
With the above steps completed, your custom post type “books” and hierarchical taxonomy “arts” should now work with the desired URLs. For example, the URL https://www.example.com/books/arts/modern/sample-book/ should load the appropriate content.
It’s important to note that if you change the code for registering the custom post type or taxonomy, you’ll need to flush the rewrite rules again for the changes to take effect.
By following this approach, you can keep the books and taxonomies separated, making it easier to manage.
