If you could look in the logs that would be great.

What version of PHP are you running? The plugin requires 5.4+

Be advised that if the images are external, this plugin does not (yet) support that. That is something that will be coming in soon, but I am not sure when exactly.

Hello Ganchan,

Thanks for your reply.

I know there is a small bug in the plugin that I yet have to fix which causes only the first 10 posts to be loaded.

See https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/small-mistake-in-the-code/ for more information about that.

Are the images in your posts local or external images?

Hello Ganchan,

I’m sorry to hear that it might not work for you. Can you tell me how you used the plugin and / or do you maybe have an example?

Hello Mutusen,

Good catch, thanks for letting me know. I will fix this shortly of course.

And also thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Right, I see where I went wrong. The menu item I mentioned ‘Extra’, should of course be ‘Tools’. My bad.

You can PM me on slack, @yourmark, find me on twitter @mark_jansen or fill in the form on https://www.yourmark.nl/contact/

That is weird.

Is there any way, that I can take a look at the install?

Is WP_DEBUG on? Do you get any errors in your errorlog?

What version of WP are you running and also what version of PHP?

The plugin requires at least PHP 5.3

Hello Venutius,

thanks for downloading the plugin. How did you use it? After you’ve installed it, you have to go to extra -> WP Set Featured Image From Content and use the button there.

Does that solve your problem?

I have the same problem.

Resolved. Apparently the prio number had to be the same as used in adding the action.

Big big big thank you Danny.

Turns out I didn’t read the tutorial all that well and I had to create the structure in the init hook and the permalink itself in the post_type_link hook.

It works now with the following code:

add_action( 'init', array( $this, 'match_permalink_structure' ) );
add_filter( 'post_type_link', array( $this, 'better_match_permalinks' ), 10, 3 );

public function match_permalink_structure() {
	global $wp_rewrite;

	$structure = __( 'match', 'apollo' ) . '/';
	$structure .= '%year%/%month%/%day%/';
	$structure .= '%matches%/';

	$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag( "%matches%", '([^/]+)', "matches=" );
	$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct( 'matches', $structure, false );
}
public function better_match_permalinks( $permalink, $post, $leavename ) {
	$rewritecode = array(
        '%year%',
        '%month%',
        '%day%',
        $leavename ? '' : '%matches%',
    );

	$timestamp = get_field( 'match_datetime', $post->ID );

	if( ! empty( $timestamp ) ) {
		$year = date( 'Y', $timestamp );
		$month = date( 'm', $timestamp );
		$day = date( 'd', $timestamp );
	} else {
		$year = date( 'Y', strtotime( $post->post_date ) );
		$month = date( 'm', strtotime( $post->post_date ) );
		$day = date( 'd', strtotime( $post->post_date ) );
	}

	$rewrite_replace = array(
		$year,
		$month,
		$day,
		$post->post_name,
	);

	$permalink = str_replace($rewritecode, $rewrite_replace, $permalink);

	# Flush rewrite rules, so the changes are visible.
	//flush_rewrite_rules();

	return $permalink;
}

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.

1. Hm, strange, because the permalink seems to work fine. When ever I save the post, the sample-permalink shows up correctly and the permalink works. When I pull up the permalink in the frontend, it gives me the permalink I expect.

I based my code on this tutorial:
https://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/custom-post-type-permalinks-part-2

2. I thought the post_type_link filter was designed for this, that is why I used it. I’ll have a look at the documentation you posted.

3. I am using ACF yes, but when it is autosaved, and I forgot to mention this is only when it’s a new post, it should use the $post->post_date because $timestamp will be empty. When I dump the $post variable to the screen, it shows up, but not on autosave, then it seems to be empty. Very strange.

When I publish or draft the post, it works fine. It’ll either get the ACF date or the post date.
