Links are not automatically updated

Hi @dgirona,

The function that saves/updates the permalink is only called within the admin dashboard by default.

To make the plugin generate the post’s permalink after they are published with front-end form you will need to use additional code snippet:

function pm_generate_uri_after_post_saved($post_id, $type, $args, $form, $action) {
    if(class_exists('Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions') && $type == 'insert_post') {
        $custom_uri = Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions_Post::get_default_post_uri($post_id, false, true);
        Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions::save_single_uri($post_id, $custom_uri, false, true);
    }
}
add_action('acfe/form/submit/post', 'pm_generate_uri_after_post_saved', 9, 5);

Could you paste it to functions.php file in your child theme directory?

Hello Maciej,

I have copied it to the bottom of the child theme’s functions file. After the function that creates the custom post type and the taxonomy. It does not work.

The test:

https://marketingonline.solucionesmallorca.com/empresas/test/

But the correct url should be:

https://marketingonline.solucionesmallorca.com/empresas/ocio-entretenimiento/test/

ex.

https://marketingonline.solucionesmallorca.com/empresas/ocio-entretenimiento/alquiler-barcos-y-lanchas/oasis-catamaran-descuentos-especiales-para-grupos-y-eventos/

Any ideas?
Thanks for the help Maciej,

Hi @dgirona,

I managed to trigger this hook using a sample ACF front-end form after I linked the category dropdown to ‘Save Post’ action like this:

There is one alternative possibility here. You can automatically update the post’s permalink whenever the ‘categorias_empresas’ term selection is saved to the database:

function pm_generate_post_permalink($post_id, $terms, $tt_ids) {
	
	if(class_exists('Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions') && $taxonomy == 'categorias_empresas') {
		$custom_uri = Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions_Post::get_default_post_uri($post_id, false, true);
		Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions::save_single_uri($post_id, $custom_uri, false, true);
	}
	
}
add_action('set_object_terms', 'pm_generate_post_permalink', 9, 3);

Hello again, I have tried the new script and it doesn’t work : (

The form is assembled with the plugin ACF Frontend Pro by Shabti Kaplan.

Will that be the problem?

I can give you access to wordpress by mail.

Hi @dgirona,

Ok, ACF Frontend Pro uses a slightly different hook after the submitted post is published:
https://www.frontendform.com/acf_frontend-save_post/

function pm_generate_uri_after_post_saved($form, $post_id) {
    if(class_exists('Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions')) {
        $custom_uri = Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions_Post::get_default_post_uri($post_id, false, true);
        Permalink_Manager_URI_Functions::save_single_uri($post_id, $custom_uri, false, true);
    }
}
add_action('acf_frontend/save_post', 'pm_generate_uri_after_post_saved', 9, 2);

Because I adhere to the www.ads-software.com forum’s security requirements, I am not permitted to have back-end access to any user’s website (even the staging/development one).

Best regards,
Maciej

It has worked perfectly, thank you very much again Maciej : )

No problem at all. If you have the chance, I would really appreciate it if you could submit your review on this page:
