Permalinks with categories don't work

  • This is my second project where I get to use this plugin. Love this plugin.

    This website has a static front page (example.com) and a blog page (example.com/blog) for posts.

    Pages are working fine. They have no category in the url (eg example.com/page). Posts do not work. They have categories in their url (eg example.com/blog/category/post). Posts just return the html post when you add “/pdf” to their url.

    Posts work fine when I change the post permalinks from /%category%/%postname%/ to just /%postname%/ (ie. example.com/blog/post).

    Any help appreciated. Thanks for a great plugin.

    This might well be a limitation of the plugin. I would have to look into the permalink to template resolving code to see if I can support permalinks like that.

    Would you be interested in looking at the code found here:

    https://github.com/anttiviljami/wp-pdf-templates/blob/master/wp-pdf-templates.php#L267-L299

    and see if messing with it would help your issue?

    Cheers!

    Thanks. I’ll give it a try. Give me a day and I’ll get back.

    I messed around with the code L267-L299 as per your suggestion, but no luck. These lines should be finding my single template just fine. And they do if I just drop the category from the url.

    I also briefly looked at the L207-L265 and could not see why the permalinks for urls with categories are causing problems. But there is no way I could write code at that level, even though I can understand what you have written.

    I’ve been trying to get these categories out of the urls anyway … urls too long. Who knows maybe they’ll go for it.

    But please let me know if you feel this will end up being a limitation of this plugin. I will need to make other arrangements if I end up being stuck with these long urls. But I’ll wait on your response.

    Thanks for your help. And great plugin. There should be more like it on the repo.
