Change permalink of custom post type

Hi @dkanika,

Yes, you can use the plugin’s “Permastructure” settings to rewrite also custom post types declared with JetEngine:
https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/basics/bulk-edit-custom-permalinks/#how-to-use-permastructures

To replace the title/slug with random string you will need to use an extra code snippet:

function pm_random_string_field( $default_uri, $native_slug, $post, $slug, $native_uri ) {
	// Do not affect native URIs
	if ( $native_uri || empty( $post->post_type ) ) {
		return $default_uri;
	}

	if ( false !== strpos( $default_uri, '%random%' ) ) {
		$length        = 11;
		$random_string = wp_generate_password( $length, false );

		$default_uri = str_replace( '%random%', $random_string, $default_uri );
	}

	return $default_uri;
}
add_filter( 'permalink_manager_filter_default_post_uri', 'pm_random_string_field', 3, 5 );
add_filter( 'permalink_manager_do_not_append_slug' ,__return_true' );

This would allow to use a new tag: %random% inside Permastructure settings.

Hi @dkanika,

How was the code specifically added? Did you use a child theme or an additional plugin?

I accidentally made a typo in the last line of code, so if it was executed, it should result in a fatal PHP error. Just in case, here is the corrected version:

function pm_random_string_field( $default_uri, $native_slug, $post, $slug, $native_uri ) {
	// Do not affect native URIs
	if ( $native_uri || empty( $post->post_type ) ) {
		return $default_uri;
	}

	if ( false !== strpos( $default_uri, '%random%' ) ) {
		$length        = 11;
		$random_string = wp_generate_password( $length, false );

		$default_uri = str_replace( '%random%', $random_string, $default_uri );
	}

	return $default_uri;
}
add_filter( 'permalink_manager_filter_default_post_uri', 'pm_random_string_field', 3, 5 );
add_filter( 'permalink_manager_do_not_append_slug', '__return_true' );

The snippet itself will work only for posts, pages and custom post type items that were published after the code was active. All URLs generated prior to inserting the code will be unaffected.

To use numbers in the random string, all you need to do is to replace:

$random_string = wp_generate_password( $length, false );

with:

$random_string = rand( 100000, 999999 );
