I created a custom post type called provider, and currently I have a URL structure like so:
- .com/provider/abc
- .com/provider/xyz
- etc…
Now I would like to add some content in the provider page, mostly for SEO reasons. After having a look at how archive pages are working, I found out that it would be best to just change the URL of the archive page for provider. So the new URL would be .com/provider-archive/ while keeping the same URL for the provider already in the system, so they would remain:
- .com/provider/abc
- .com/provider/xyz
- etc…
This way, I would be able to create a regular page and give it the /provider/ URL.
I am trying to do so by changing the rewrite, adding in a slug to be provider-archive. After doing all of this, and creating a new page with the URL /provider/, when I try to access said URL I still see the archive.
This is how my custom post type is set up:
/** * Register Provider Meta Box */ add_action('init', 'cpt_provider'); function cpt_provider() { $ labels = array( 'name' => _x('Providers', 'post type general name', 'mebo-cpt'), 'singular_name' => _x('Provider', 'post type singular name', 'mebo-cpt'), 'menu_name' => _x('Providers', 'admin menu', 'mebo-cpt'), 'name_admin_bar' => _x('Provider', 'add new on admin bar', 'mebo-cpt'), 'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'book', 'mebo-cpt'), 'add_new_item' => __('Add New Provider', 'mebo-cpt'), 'new_item' => __('New Provider', 'mebo-cpt'), 'edit_item' => __('Edit Provider', 'mebo-cpt'), 'view_item' => __('View Provider', 'mebo-cpt'), 'all_items' => __('All Providers', 'mebo-cpt'), 'search_items' => __('Search Providers', 'mebo-cpt'), 'parent_item_colon' => __('Parent Providers:', 'mebo-cpt'), 'not_found' => __('No Providers found.', 'mebo-cpt'), 'not_found_in_trash' => __('No Providers found in Trash.', 'mebo-cpt') ); $ args = array( 'labels' => $ labels, 'description' => __('Description.', 'mebo-cpt'), 'public' => true, 'publicly_queryable' => true, 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => true, 'query_var' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post', 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'provider-archive' ), 'hierarchical' => true, 'menu_position' => null, 'menu_icon' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/img/icons/Gun-512.png', 'supports' => array('title', 'editor') ); register_post_type('provider', $ args); } Is there anything that I’m missing?
