I created a blog post under the category "Technology" and select the parent category.
The current URL is domain.com/how-to-change-my-username
I want to change to domain.com/technology/how-to-change-my-username
I don't want to change this from the permalink section for the overall website. but only for specific blog posts.
Can we do this through the blog post right panel?
Hi there,
To clarify: Will this be just for a specific single post or will this be applied to a specific post type or a specific category?
Let us know. :D
yes for specific category
You can try this PHP snippet:
function technology_cat_permalink_post( $permalink, $post, $leavename ) {
// Get the categories for the post
$category = get_the_category($post->ID);
if ( !empty($category) && $category[0]->cat_name == "Technology" ) {
$permalink = trailingslashit( home_url('/'.$category[0]->slug.'/'. $post->post_name . '/' ) );
}
return $permalink;
}
add_filter( 'post_link', 'technology_cat_permalink_post', 10, 3 );
