Polylang and Rewrite Rules

    Hello,

    I am trying to add a rewrite rule but it doesn’t seem to be working at all and I think maybe I am not doing it correctly for it to work with Polylang. Here is the setup:

    * I have a page at [language code]/stories/countries/ (‘stories’ is a parent page)

    * I want to make it so that [language code]/stories/countries/[country-name] goes to the [language code]/stories/countries/ page with [country-name] as a query var called c_attr (I’ve already set up ‘c_attr’ as a query var using add_rewrite_tag)

    In other words, the rewrite rule I am looking to use is (it’s a little more general because I have other pages that are siblings of ‘countries’ but they all behave similarly):

    stories/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ => index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&p_attr=$matches[1]&c_attr=$matches[2]

    But this rule never seems to trigger and I suspect it is not playing nice with Polylang.

    I found something about pll_rewrite_rules in the documentation, but I am not sure if it is indeed what I need, and if it is, I am not exactly sure as to how to use that sample code.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Did you check that your rewrite rule works when Polylang is inactive?

    If yes, did you check something like (supposed that en, fr, de are your languages codes):

    (en|fr|de)/stories/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ => index.php?pagename=$matches[1]&p_attr=$matches[1]&c_attr=$matches[2]

    if your country name corresponds to a single post

    (en|fr|de)/stories/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ => index.php?pagename=$matches[2]&p_attr=$matches[2]&c_attr=$matches[3]&lang=$matches[1]

    if your country name corresponds to an archive of posts

    Hello Chouby,
    I’m stuck on a plugin development for a website that use Polylang…
    I need to add a custom rewrite_rule

    add_rewrite_rule( 'webservice/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)?$', 'index.php?webservice=1&service=$matches[1]', 'top' );

    but when I flush rules, all custom post types with polylang they break…
    If I deactivate Polylang all works great…

    any idea?

    thank you in advance…

    Hi!

    I already did such things without any issue. How do flush rewrite rules?

    Hello,
    thank you for your answer…
    after a few hours of debugging I noticed that my rule is interpreted as a page (fisically does not exist on db) because I’m using a template_redirect action to emulate a new page with the webservice as output.

    I tried some new rules but no one works…

    an exemple of what I tried is:

    add_rewrite_rule( '(it|en)/webservice/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$', 'index.php?lang=$matches[1]&webservice=1&service=$matches[2]', 'top' );
