rewrite rule for page url with categoryname

  • This is what i am trying to do:
    example.com/categoryname/pagename

    I enabled the categories for pages. so i can link my pages to a category.
    but when i visit the page the url is example.com/pagename

    could anybody help me figure out how i can get the category name in between the page and the domain name?

    example.com/categoryname/pagename

    i tried something like this:
    add_rewrite_rule();

    but regular expressions i barely understand.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi Calvin!
    Thanks you for your reply.
    The problem is that it are pages (not posts) still have just the
    https://www.domain.com/pagename

    and i would like to have https://www.domain.com/categoryname/pagename

    The premalink settings dont change the url for the pages, or atleast not in my install.

    Can you point me in the right direction?

    Hey there thias_,

    WordPress Pages by default don’t have category can you please tell me you have a code that enable to set category in wordpress pages? I use a plugin to add category but it’s not working for me.

    Looking forward for your reply! ??

    This code enables page categories:

    function page_categories() {
// Add tag metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'page');
// Add category metabox to page
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'page');
}
 // Add to the admin_init hook of your theme functions.php file
add_action( 'admin_init', 'page_categories' );
