I have set up a custom post type
register_post_type( 'Communities',
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Communities' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Community' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Communities Found' )
),
'public' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => '/%category%/communities', 'with_front' => false),
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'taxonomies' => array( 'category' ),
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields' ),
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-admin-home'
)
);
I have a pages setup with a city name that I need to remain as a page for different reasons, but I want communities in that city to be stored as a custom post type. I have setup categories for each city that I am adding communities to but I would like them to treat the cityname page as the parent.
like this
www.sitename.com/cityname/communities/communityname/
I would like cityname to be a page, communities to be an archive page and the communityname to be a single page.
Every solution I have found thus far generates 404 errors or conflicts with the parent page.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
This should do it for you, but first there are 2 things you should know.
1.) I wouldn't recommend this URL structure as it mandates that every entry have at least ONE category. It will always grab the first in the array. You'll need to write a small plugin to let your authors know. This may do the trick:
https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/require-post-category/
2.) Before you can view a post, you'll need to visit Settings > permalinks after you add the code so it will force a rewrite flush.
