Now new posts have nothing as slug. A new single post under CPT1 will have this url:

https://domain.com/CPT1/

Exact same as the archives of that CPT.

I think i’m gonna make a child of basic. Do you know if it uses ajax at all?

Yes exactly! After saving you can already see it there, and after clicking publish it’s still there (unless you manually remove it i guess).

Hello, it’s working as expected for existing posts but when creating a new post, it ends up with this url:

https://domain.com/custom-post-type/67986/the-post-title/
instead of:
https://domain.com/custom-post-type/67986/

Hi setting “public” as false redirects the taxonomy archive to the homepage which is perfect. That’s all i needed.

I was scared it would also change something else but it seems to do only that. The taxonomy exists and works fine so all good.

Is setting “Public” to false the right way?

Thanks for the update!

Yes, i see thanks for your insight! We’ll give it a go and see if it has any impact server side. I think it’s the only way to really know. If it gets crazy we can quickly go back to pretty permalinks. Thank you!

Same, anyone know the Ip of this bastards? It’s hammering the search for weeks.

We have tested several posts that rank well, switching to ID vs nice permalink had no impact on position on google. The urls changed the posts maintained it’s ranking (this test started a month ago and holding up to this day)-

our database is healthy, mysql consumes 6% to 15% of the CPU with 500-600 users at all times (google analytics live data). CPU is mostly idle. Load averages are 0.5~0.9.

We don’t want to switch to ID’s because of user friendliness or because ID’s are faster than permalinks or SEO.

We weren’t looking for a philosophical answer mostly for a proper way to achieve it with less impact on resources. Sorry if it came up as another clueless request.

Wow so fast! So this is pretty much finished for production, i just install the latest version and add the function to the theme and done.
Thanks so much!

I have an ajax call to a custom field when a user clicks a download button it retrieves the download link. I think that might be the cause.
Is there any way to stop these duplicates from being indexed?
Thank you!

Excellent so i’ll wait cos i need to leave it running automatically for new posts. I’ll check back later on. Thanks!

Oh and will it affect new posts? I mean if i create a new post under those post types will they have the ID only by default?

Ok i tried it did the job!
The old urls respond 200 but still redirect. Would this be a problem with google? I mean not having 301 redirects.

Also on “List of updated items”
“Old slug” and “New Slug” remain the same, should i worry about that or it’s OK?

Removing the function and regenerating urls once more does return them back to normal (pretty neat!).

I have a question (hopefully the last one!): can this function take an array? like…

function permalink_manager_filter_slug($slug, $post) {
	if($post->post_type == 'array('apples','monkeys','carburetors')') {
		$slug = $post->ID;
	}
	return $slug;
}
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_slug', 'permalink_manager_filter_slug', 99, 2);

thanks so much!
