Permalink error with WPML (404)

Hey!

I fixed it with this code:

add_filter('avf_portfolio_cpt_args','avia_deactivate_portfolio_slug_rewrite', 10, 1);
function avia_deactivate_portfolio_slug_rewrite($args)
{
  $args['rewrite'] = false;
  return $args;
}

I added it into the functions.php file. You can also add it to a plugin or child theme php file if necessary.

It will deactivate the slug rewrite for portfolio items and then wordpress will process the page permalinks properly. It seems like your server hits a limitation if all post types (pages, portfolio items, posts and other custom post types) register their “pretty” permalink rules and it just stops to process them at a certain point. When I deactivate the pretty permalink for the portfolio post type the “pretty” permalinks at least start to work for the pages.

Best regards,
Peter

Hey!

Yes because the standard worpress config does not use an additional post type (i.e. the portfolio entries) and thus you won’t reach the limit of rewrite rules. As soon as you add some custom post types the number of rewrite rules increases and your server does not process the rewrite rules for all post types anymore. There’s nothing I can do to fix it from our end (with code). The only solution is to deactivate the “pretty permalinks” for the post type our theme registers and I already provided that code. You might want to contact the server administrator/host – maybe they can tweak the server configuration somehow and change this limit (although I’m not sure which settings need to be changed) or you try to move the website to a different server/host.

Cheers!

Hi!

You can try to update to the lates theme version (2.5.2) – maybe it fixes the issue. We changed some things for better WP3.8 compatibility and tmaybe the changes will also fix the rewrite rule issue on your server. I’m only aware of one other user who reported a similar issue with permalinks and there it was definitely no theme issue because other post types (i.e. the “products” post type of WooCommerce) also didn’t work even if the default theme “TwentyThirteen” was activated.

Best regards,
