Brand name in URL

Hi play33.

Removing /product/ from the URLs is not advisable due to the way WordPress resolves its URLs. That can lead to a number of problems with performance and duplicate URLs.

As an alternative you can add the brand to the products urls without removing the base. The code below does the trick:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_register_post_type_product', 'custom_pwb_product_post_type_rewrite' );
function custom_pwb_product_post_type_rewrite($data){
  $data['rewrite']['slug']       = $data['rewrite']['slug'] . '/%pwb-brand%';
  $data['rewrite']['with_front'] = false;
  return $data;
}

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'custom_pwb_add_brand_name_in_url', 10, 2 );
function custom_pwb_add_brand_name_in_url( $permalink, $post ) {
  if( $post->post_type == 'product' ) {
    $term   = 'product';
    $brands = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'pwb-brand' );
    if( ! empty( $brands ) && ! is_wp_error( $brands ) ) $term = current( $brands )->slug;
    $permalink = str_replace( '%pwb-brand%', $term, $permalink );
  }
  return $permalink;
}

Your urls can now looks like: https://www.bcgel.co.uk/shop/moroccanoil/moroccanoil-treatment-light-100ml/ for example (assuming that ‘shop’ is the base)

Hey there,
How would I add the brand to the Woocommerce breadcrumbs? so instead of Home / Products / E-Liquid / Wild Apple, I would like to replace the category with brand… to:
Home / Products / Air Factory / Wild Apple.

Thanks in advance
Dino
