On this project we had a custom post type called “resource” and a taxonomy called “resource_type”. We wanted the following URLs:
/resource
– CPT Archive for resource/resource/ebooks
– Tax archive for “ebook” term in the resource_type taxonomy/resource/ebooks/sample-ebook
– Single post in resource CPT
Some things to note below:
- Line 71, the resource_type taxonomy has its rewrite slug set to
resource
. - Line 197, the resource CPT has its rewrite slug set to
resource/%resource_type%
. - Lines 210-212, registering the different rewrite rules.
- Lines 220-230, filtering the post type link (singular) to change
%resource_type%
to an actual taxonomy term slug. Not shown is theea_first_term()
function that gets the terms and selects the first if multiple terms are attached to post. - Lines 236-240, filters the post type archive link, removing the
%resource_type%
so that it is just /resource.
