Single Post 404s

  • Hey,

    I’m hoping somebody can shed some light on an issue that I’m experiencing with the plugin.

    I’m currently developing a website and have made use of the custom post types and taxonomies. The problem is that while the permalinks and archive/taxonomy pages work fine, I’m getting 404s on all singe post pages.

    Here’s the code I’m using in my functions.php file to create the custom post types:

    // custom post types
add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
    // create work post type
    register_post_type( 'work',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Work' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Work' ),
                'add_new' => __('Add New Work')
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'menu_position' => 5,
            'has_archive' => true
        )
    );
    // create blog post type
    register_post_type( 'blog',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Blog' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Post' ),
                'add_new' => __('Add New Blog Post')
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'menu_position' => 5,
            'has_archive' => true
        )
    );
//    flush_rewrite_rules(); // dev purposes only
}

    And here’s what I’m using to create the taxonomies in the same file:

    // custom categories
add_action( 'init', 'create_category' );
function create_category() {
    register_taxonomy(
        'work-category',
        'work',
        array(
            'label' => __( 'Work Categories' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'work' ),
            'hierarchical' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'show_admin_column' => true
        )
    );
    register_taxonomy(
        'blog-category',
        'blog',
        array(
            'label' => __( 'Blog Categories' ),
            'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'blog' ),
            'hierarchical' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'show_admin_column' => true
        )
    );
}

    Now, to me, all of the above looks okay. So, thus far, I’m stumped as to what the problem is.

    Here’s how I have set up my permalinks:

    ? ‘work’ is: /%work-category%/%postname%/ (has_archive: true / with_front: true)

    ? ‘blog’ is: /%blog-category%/%postname%/ (has_archive: true / with_front: true)

    “Use custom permalink of custom taxonomy archive” is unchecked.

    Here’s an example how the permalinks are currently working (or not working, as the case may be):

    https://176.32.230.6/timgrewcock.com/work/ (works fine)
    https://176.32.230.6/timgrewcock.com/work/acting/(works fine)
    https://176.32.230.6/timgrewcock.com/work/acting/something-2/ (doesn’t work)

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks

  • If you change the settings related to permanent link, it is necessary to update the Rewrite Rules.

    To the update of Rewrite Rules, Click the “Save Change” in “/wp-admin/options-general.php”.
    At this time, flush_rewrite_rules is executed by WordPress.

    So, Must not run the flush_rewrite_rules in your code.

    Okay sure, but I’m no longer running flush_rewrite_rules – it’s commented out in the code.

    My permalink structure hasn’t changed, it’s still:

    /work/
    /work/category/faffing/ <– here is the problem: I don’t want “category” in there
    /work/faffing/dirt-devil/

    Is there no way to remove “category” from the taxonomy url?

    cannot remove “category”.

    if there is not “category”, confrict single page url.

    Okay, it looks like I’ll have to settle with that then.

    Thank you for all your help!

    To anyone reading this, I had to add the following for each of my custom post type definitions in functions.php for the single post slug URLs to work:

    'rewrite'=>array('slug'=>'a-slug-name-for-your-post-type','with_front' => FALSE)

    … to the array of arguments that’s passed to register_post_type. Full example:

    add_action( 'init', 'create_wine_post_type' );
function create_wine_post_type() {

  register_post_type( 'wine',
    array(
      'labels' => array(
        'name' => __( 'Wines' ),
        'singular_name' => __( 'Wine' )
      ),
      'public' => true,
	'show_ui' => true,
	'capability_type' => 'post',
	'supports'=>array('title','editor','thumbnail'),
	'menu_position'=>11,
      'hierarchical' => false,
      '_builtin' => false,
	'rewrite'=>array('slug'=>'wines','with_front' => FALSE)
    )
  );
}

    Thank you jorisw.
    Is correct!

    if with_front => true and permalink structure /archive/%post_id%,
    “/archive/” will be contained in the Custom Post Type Permalink.

    Thanks for the input jorisw but unless I’ve misunderstood, that doesn’t really solve my problem with “category” appearing in the taxonomy permalink.
