URL Rewrites & Custom Rewrites

When you need to change the URL structure or Rewrite Rules beyond what is provided in the Advanced Options Tab for the Custom Post or Custom Taxonomy.

By default WP presents post-type URL’s like <post-type>/<post-slug>. We use the built-in and custom handling provided by register_post and register_taxonomy so anything beyond that is out of scope for Pods and requires you to look into custom solutions, though you can adjust your rewrite slugs in the Advanced Options of your Custom Post Type and Taxonomy.

We can recommend Custom Post Type Permalinks for expanding on what is available in the Settings, Permalinks screen for your Custom Taxonomies and Custom Post Types.

You might need to define custom rewrite tags in this case, which is well documented at WordPress.org for add_rewrite_tag. It’s also possible that the plugin won’t be enough and you’ll have to define a custom post type rewrite with add_rewrite_rule. You will find wordpress.stackexchange.com a good resource for handling custom rewrite rules.

Using Link Tables for multi-field relationships

We get a lot of questions about relationships with multiple fields. These extra fields give the relationship more context, like a date for example. In such a case you’ll need a so-called “Link Table” to combine this into one relationship. This can be an extra Pod, table based or meta based. Setup: Assuming you’ve already …
