Change WORDPRESS permalinks Structure to use Custom Field Values Dynamically for Custom Post Types


I am using Custom Post type 'listing' and in these post type i have Custom Field Values geocraft_state and geocraft_city.

Currently links are as follows

site.com/listing/Title-of-listing

but i want them to be like this

http://site.com/geocraft_state/geocraft_city/Title-of-Listing

so if someone from NA State post a listing the link should be as follows

site.com/NA/Greensboro/Title-of-Listing

Is their anyway we can use Dynamically Custom Fields Value to generate links?

Any Help will be appreciated.

Thanks


Solution

  • Instead of using Custom Fields i added custom taxonomy for location by adding these codes in functions.php. Now i have to figure out how to show this in Front End Form.

    function add_custom_taxonomies() {
        // Add new "Locations" taxonomy to Posts
        register_taxonomy('location', 'post', array(
            // Hierarchical taxonomy (like categories)
            'hierarchical' => true,
            // This array of options controls the labels displayed in the WordPress Admin UI
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => _x( 'Locations', 'taxonomy general name' ),
                'singular_name' => _x( 'Location', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
                'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Locations' ),
                'all_items' => __( 'All Locations' ),
                'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Location' ),
                'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Location:' ),
                'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Location' ),
                'update_item' => __( 'Update Location' ),
                'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Location' ),
                'new_item_name' => __( 'New Location Name' ),
                'menu_name' => __( 'Locations' ),
            ),
            // Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
            'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'locations', // This controls the base slug that will display before each term
                'with_front' => false, // Don't display the category base before "/locations/"
                'hierarchical' => true // This will allow URL's like "/locations/boston/cambridge/"
            ),
        ));
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_taxonomies', 0 );
