Advanced Filters
For developers who need more control, Custom Permalink Editor provides several filters to customize its behavior.
Add PATH_INFO in $_SERVER Variable
Enable PATH_INFO support in the $_SERVER variable. This is useful for certain server configurations.
Usage:
add_filter( 'cp_editor_path_info', '__return_true' );
Exclude Specific Permalinks
Prevent specific permalinks from being processed by the plugin. Useful for excluding system files like sitemaps or special pages.
Example: Exclude sitemap.xml from processing
function team_kcg_exclude_permalink( $permalink ) {
// Check if permalink contains 'sitemap.xml'
if ( false !== strpos( $permalink, 'sitemap.xml' ) ) {
return '__true';
}
return;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_permalink', 'team_kcg_exclude_permalink' );
Exclude Specific Post Types
Remove the Custom Permalink Editor form from specific post types. Helpful if you want to disable the feature for certain content types.
Example: Exclude a custom post type called 'custompost'
function team_kcg_exclude_post_type( $post_type ) {
// Replace 'custompost' with your actual post type name
if ( 'custompost' === $post_type ) {
return '__true';
}
return '__false';
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_post_type', 'team_kcg_exclude_post_type' );
Exclude Specific Posts
Exclude individual posts or pages from showing the Custom Permalink Editor form. You can filter by ID, template, or any post property.
Example: Exclude post with ID 1557
function team_kcg_exclude_posts( $post ) {
// Exclude specific post by ID
if ( 1557 === $post->ID ) {
return true;
}
// You can also exclude by other criteria
// Example: Exclude posts with a specific template
// if ( get_page_template_slug( $post->ID ) === 'template-landing.php' ) {
// return true;
// }
return false;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_exclude_posts', 'team_kcg_exclude_posts' );
Allow Accented Characters
By default, the plugin removes accents from permalinks for better URL compatibility. Enable this filter if you need to preserve accented characters.
Usage:
function team_kcg_allow_accents() {
return true;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_allow_accents', 'team_kcg_allow_accents' );
Allow Capital Letters
By default, permalinks are converted to lowercase. Use this filter to preserve capital letters in your custom URLs.
Usage:
function team_kcg_allow_capitals() {
return true;
}
add_filter( 'cp_editor_allow_caps', 'team_kcg_allow_capitals' );
Note: Add these code snippets to your theme's functions.php file or use a custom plugin/code snippets plugin.
