Both change permalink and redirect to new url?

Wow so fast! So this is pretty much finished for production, i just install the latest version and add the function to the theme and done.
Thanks so much!

If you encountered any problems related with 404 error on pages where you use pages’ IDs instead of slugs after you updated Permalink Manager to 1.0.2 version – please disable & remove the plugin and reinstall it again (the freshest revision contains correct REGEX rule, which is used to detect the custom URIs).

Sorry for trouble,
Maciej

Thanks for the update!

Hello, it’s working as expected for existing posts but when creating a new post, it ends up with this url:

https://domain.com/custom-post-type/67986/the-post-title/
instead of:
https://domain.com/custom-post-type/67986/

Hi @ctrlaltdelete,

please confirm, the incorrect URI is displayed in “Edit URI” box (below post title) after the post is saved?

Best Regards,
Maciej

Yes exactly! After saving you can already see it there, and after clicking publish it’s still there (unless you manually remove it i guess).

Hi @ctrlaltdelete

please disable and remove the plugin & install a fresh copy.

After that please add this hook:

function permalink_manager_filter_draft_slug($slug, $post) {
	if(in_array($post->post_type, array('YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_1', 'YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_2'))) {
		return '';
	}
}
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_draft_slug', 'permalink_manager_filter_draft_slug', 99, 2);

Let me know if it helps.

Best Regards,
Maciej

Now new posts have nothing as slug. A new single post under CPT1 will have this url:

https://domain.com/CPT1/

Exact same as the archives of that CPT.

Could you try this instead of the previous snippet?

function permalink_manager_filter_draft_slug($slug, $post) {
	if(in_array($post->post_type, array('YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_1', 'YOUR_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_2'))) {
		return "/{$post->ID}";
	}
}
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_draft_slug', 'permalink_manager_filter_draft_slug', 99, 2);

Now it works well for new posts! but doing “Regenerate/Reset” -> “FULL URIs” reverts it back to the “pretty permalink”

@ctraltdelete

It looks like the previous hook is lost in your functions.php, please try this code:

function permalink_manager_filter_slug($slug, $post, $post_name = '') {
	if(in_array($post->post_type, array('page'))) {
		$slug = "/{$post->ID}";
	}
	return $slug;
}
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_slug', 'permalink_manager_filter_slug', 99, 3);
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_draft_slug', '__return_null', 99);
add_filter('permalink_manager_deep_uri_detect', '__return_true');

In case you encounter 404 errors, please again reinstall the plugin. I added another filter that widens the REGEX function used to detect the posts.

Oh i didn’t think i needed both, sorry.

With the new one when creating a new post the “Edit URI” box (below post title) puts 2 slashes instead of one, example:
https://domain.com/CPT1//4864

So when you view the post it’s 404.
BTW i tested after redownloading the plugin.

@ctraltdelete

did you reinstall the plugin again?

A while ago, I added another filter that allows to bypass 404 error when post IDs are used instead of slugs – by default the post IDs are treated as page numbers of pagination.

Yes i did reinstall it.
I created a post after saving draft i noticed there was an extra “/” before the ID as shown on the post above. I published the post. And when i try to view it it 404.

So i edited the post and manually removed the extra “/”, now the post works fine.

I think my setup is fine it’s just that the extra “/” shouldn’t be there. I don’t know what changed that it appears there.

Maybe i should use 2 different snippets 1 from page 1 for mass convert and 1 from this page for new posts instead of combining both into 1 snippet that causes the double slash. Should i do that?

Hi @ctrlaltdelete,

please remove the slash from the snippet above, this should help

$slug = "/{$post->ID}";

should be replaced with:

$slug = "{$post->ID}";
