For those who want to delete or rename "LISTCAT" and "listing" slugs

hello all,

Here are some things that worked for me, hoping that it will be useful for you too.

1 - Rename "listcat" and "listing" from your URLs, you can do these:
go to / library / controls / custom_post_type / and open listing_type.php file and modify as shown in the attached images. Don't forget do re-save your Permalinks from your wordpress dashboard to validate your news Permalinks.

a- listing : line 31

b- listcat : line 65

2-Delete "listcat" and "listing" from your URLs, you can do these:

a-to delete "listcat", use this plugin:http://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-taxonomy-base-slug/
b-to delete "listing", use this plugin:http://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-slug-from-custom-post-type/

You can also add these 2 lines in your .htaccess file to redirect your old permalinks to the news one , good to don't lose page rank.

- if you rename slugs :
RewriteRule ^listing/(.+)/$ your-new-slug/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^listcat/(.+)/$ your-new-slug/$1 [R=301,L]

- if you delete slugs :
RewriteRule ^listing/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^listcat/(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]


Tell us if it works for you or any particular things that you do about it.

 

Thanks for this Does it work?
Has anyone tried this?

 

Yes it works well for me.

 

hey aliounn any chance we can get a link to your site to see an example with it working?

i am interested in implementing this. just wondering how long it took you, and if it is difficult
thanks

 

hi kentoliver,
here is the link of the web site : http://www.lyonbeautyshop.fr/

 

thanks again aliounn

 

Thanks for this suggestion, aliounn. Just a note on our attempt to use recently.... we were able to change the first one for 'listing' on line 31, no problem. But when we tried to do the second one, line 65, when we refresh, the site won't load and we just get a white-screen-of-death, so we just took that one back out.

 

For future reference (and for Jsal2) - remember that line 65 should end with )) not just ) !

Code from:
"rewrite" => true )

Code to:
"rewrite" => array("slug" => "category_name"))

If you end it with just ) you will get the white screen. Add the 2nd ) and it will fix it =)

 

its good i want to use this for http://www.b2bclassifieds.in can you help me.

 

Worked for me. Thank you so much for this!

 

Hi, I Could rename de "listcat" from my url, but when I click in a category I always get an error page with no results:

This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.

I have to change something else to solve the url?

Thank you!

 

Hello,

Greetings from InkThemes!

I would like to inform that the above process will work only for the first time during the installation of the theme..

If you already have a database and listing in that then to follow the above steps may lose your content as well.

Thanks & Regards!
