Use category variable for portfolio item base

Hey manchust,

Thank you for the inquiry.

This is possible but you can only append the first category after the base URL. Please create a site backup or restore point (this is important), then add the following code in the functions.php file. Afterwards, go to the Settings > Permalinks panel and resave the settings to flush the permalinks.

add_filter('avf_portfolio_cpt_args', 'avf_portfolio_cpt_args_mod', 10);
function avf_portfolio_cpt_args_mod($args) {
	$args['rewrite']['slug'] = '%portfolio_entries%';
        $args['rewrite']['with_front'] = false;
	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'post_type_link', 'ava_remove_custom_slug', 9999, 3 );
function ava_remove_custom_slug( $post_link, $post, $leavename ) {
    if ( 'portfolio' != $post->post_type || 'publish' != $post->post_status ) {
        return $post_link;
    }

    $post_link = str_replace( '/' . $post->post_type . '/', '/', $post_link );

    return $post_link;
}

add_filter('post_link', 'portfolio_permalink', 1, 5);
add_filter('post_type_link', 'portfolio_permalink', 1, 5);

function portfolio_permalink($permalink, $post_id, $leavename) {
    if (strpos($permalink, '%portfolio_entries%') === FALSE) return $permalink;

        $post = get_post($post_id);
        if (!$post) return $permalink;

        $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post->ID, 'portfolio_entries');
        if (!is_wp_error($terms) && !empty($terms) && is_object($terms[0]))
        	$taxonomy_slug = $terms[0]->slug;
        else $taxonomy_slug = 'no-portfolio';

    return str_replace('%portfolio_entries%', $taxonomy_slug, $permalink);
}

Hi!

By “first category”, we meant the very first category where a specific portfolio item belonged. If the portfolio item belongs to multiple categories, the modification above will select the very first category and append it to the base URL.

Hi,

Did you set the Permalink structure to Postname (/%postname%/)? The Portfolio Items Base and the Portfolio Categories Base should be set to default, portfolio-item and portfolio_entries respectively. Please go to the Settings > Permalinks panel, check the settings and resave.

Best regards,
Ismael
