Adding Taxonomy Name to Custom Post Type and Retain Pagination

  • Hard to be brief and descriptive with a title like that lol.
    Also hard to research as well so hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

    This is basically a continuation of this post

    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/insert-category-of-taxonomy-between-custom-post-type-and-post

    and Robert3d’s question on how to retain pagination while using lopinsjk’s filter.

    So my situation is this.
    I have a post type called “products”
    I have a taxonomy called “product_category”
    I want them all to be children of permalink “shop”

    The args for my CPT products

    $args = array( "labels" => $labels,
               "public" => true,
	       "has_archive" => true,
	       "publicly_queryable" => true,
		"query_var" => true,
		"rewrite"		=> array("slug" => "shop/%product_category%","with_front" => false, "pages" => true ),
		"hierarchical" => false,
	        "supports" => array("title","editor","thumbnail"),
	        "exclude_from_search" => false);
	        register_post_type( "products" , $args );

    The args for my Custom Taxonomy Products

    $args = array(
		'labels' => $labels,
		'hierarchical' 	=> true,
		'public'		=> true,
		'query_var'		=> 'product_category',
		'rewrite'		=>  array('slug' => 'shop' ),
		'_builtin'		=> false,
		'show_ui'           => true,
                'show_admin_column' => true,
	);

	register_taxonomy( 'product_category', 'products', $args );

    Then making it all tick using lopinsjk’s filter

    add_filter('post_link', 'product_category_permalink', 1, 3);
add_filter('post_type_link', 'product_category_permalink', 1, 3);

function product_category_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename) {
    if (strpos($permalink, '%product_category%') === FALSE) return $permalink;
        $post = get_post($post_id);
        if (!$post) return $permalink;
        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'product_category');
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0]))
        	$taxonomy_slug = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $taxonomy_slug = 'no-brand';
    return str_replace('%product_category%', $taxonomy_slug, $permalink);
}

    So this works perfectly allowing me to have a page called “shop” where I display all the categories, and the taxonomy names are added correctly when viewing a single product.

    The problem lies on the custom taxonomy page I created “taxonomy-product_category.php”. It works as intended when visiting:
    shop/%product_category%
    but not
    shop/%product_category%/page/2/

    I’m just not sure where I should be trying to rewrite the pagination links and how honestly.

    Should this be done using an add_rewrite_rule or something that should be added to lopinsjk’s filter?

    I’ve attempted some rewrites with no luck.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi Cortez77,

    This was my problem too. I spent lot of days with Google searches and reading- Finally I found the solution:

    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/96126/custom-post-type-taxonomy-slug-post-title-with-post-type-archive?answertab=votes#tab-top

    Use the code from Answer 1 and replace

    $newrules[‘our-work/(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$’] = ‘index.php?post_type=work&work_category=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]’;

    to

    $newrules[‘our-work/(.+?)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$’] = ‘index.php?work_category=$matches[1]&paged=$matches[2]’;

    (delete ‘post_type=work&’)

    It works fine for me.

    Thanks for taking the time to share zinifexer!
    I ended up setting up an ajax lazy load type deal to get around the problem myself.
    I’ll give this a try too though to support those without javascript.
    Cheers

    @zinifexer thanks, your code works perfect.
