categories

Hi,
If you changed slug to an already used slug then this error is correct because two object types can not use same slug name. Can you please provide me URL of the category page and url of the ADS page so i can check it myself.

Regards

I think the architecture needs to be updated for this case, I am sorry to say. permalink structure should have the ability like in WordPress to have

base slug / category / single post.

I need this ability. Not connecting category with base slug should be implemented in my opinion and shouldn’t be separate as you have it now.

Hi,
I didn’t change the architecture, it is using default WordPress architecture to generate the url Permalink. You can use url permalink of your choice available in wordpress admin panel SETTINGS/PERMALINK. That is totally upto you and this plugin follow rules saved in SETTINGS/PERMALINK.

Now, lets discuss your desired url PERMALINK structure base slug / category / single post. A single post may belong to multiple categories. Lets say you have created 3 categories for AOL ads

1. Finance Department
2. Internship
3. USA office

You create a job advertisement, for example Internees are required by finance department in USA office. and set all above three categories to that advertisement. Now, which URL Permalink Structure your ad should have?

1. base slug/finance-department/internee-required-by-finance-department-in-usa
2. base slug/internship/internee-required-by-finance-department-in-usa
3. base slug/use-office/internee-required-by-finance-department-in-usa

Now imagine which permalink structure is realistic to have, base_slug/single_post or base_slug/category/single_post ??

I need the post type slug to be the taxonomy slug in this case. The desired effect is to have

base slug / category / single post.

This is because if you have multiple posts in a category

base slug / category page, you want to show all the ads, like

https://www.squarespace.com/careers/engineering
https://www.squarespace.com/careers/marketing

I can then do a query and post all the ads in this category. You see structure it is base slug and category.

Hi,

A post may belong to multiple categories so it is not realistic approach to get a permalink based on categories. If a post belong to category A and also belongs to category B, then which category name to show in the permalink.

I have already told you ApplyONline plugin do not alter wordpress’ permalink structure. You are free to use any sort of permalink structure available in SETTINGS/PERMALINK page in admin panel.

I am really sorry, i could not understand your actual requirements because most of your messages are technically confusing.

If you want to achieve a URL strucuture similar to above, then:

1. Change slug name from adcat to careers in the PHP file, which i have mentioned in one of previous messages.
2. Add two categories named as Engineering and Marketing.
3. Now open url of your website as yourwebsite.com/careers/engineering
4. Now visit SETTINGS/PERMALINK page from wordpress admin panel. Under COMMON SETTINGS select POST NAME option and save it. (If you already have this option please save it again otherwise things may not work)
