i have a custom post type for my wp blog called 'rules_and_laws' and I have added a function to specify a rewrite rule:
function custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure() { add_rewrite_rule( '([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?rules_and_laws=$matches[1]', 'top' ); }
add_action( 'init', 'custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure' );The rule works ok for custom post type 'rules_and_law', the only problem is that now all the other pages and posts of the blog return 404.
I tried another approach trying to apply the rewrite url only for cpt 'rules_and_laws' but nothing worked:
function custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure() { // Check if the current post type is 'rules_and_laws' if (is_singular('rules_and_laws')) { add_rewrite_rule( '([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?rules_and_laws=$matches[1]', 'top' ); flush_rewrite_rules(); // Flush the rewrite rules to apply the changes }
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure');for example with this code the rules was not applied at all ( looks like is_singular('rules_and_laws') don't work ).
This is an example of base url:
and that's the rewrite:
Thank you for your help.

an updated version of your code that should address the issue:
function custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure() { // Register the rewrite rule only for the 'rules_and_laws' post type add_rewrite_rule( '^rules_and_laws/([^/]+)/?$', 'index.php?rules_and_laws=$matches[1]', 'top' ); // Flush the rewrite rules to apply the changes flush_rewrite_rules();
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rules_and_laws_permalink_structure');
